n Queen of Hearts: Audrey Flack — Q&A with filmmaker Deborah Shaffer on Sunday, 11/17 following 5:00pm screening. At 88 years-old, Audrey Flack holds a unique place in the history of contemporary art in America. She has been a trailblazer, from her early days as an Abstract Expressionist in the 50s, to her successful career as the sole female Photorealist in the 70s, to her monumental public sculptures of recent decades. Queen of Hearts follows Flack as she takes her work in a brand new direction and reveals her long-term struggles as the mother of child with autism. A moving portrait of an artist who is still testing, still experimenting, still searching. 2019. 1h15m.

n Stuffed — A documentary on the surprising world of taxidermy. Told through the eyes and hands of acclaimed artists across the world, the film explores this diverse subculture, where sculptors must also be scientists, seeing life where others only see death. From an all-female studio in Los Angeles that has elevated taxidermy to the forefront of fashion and modern art, to fine artists in the Netherlands, these passionate experts push creative boundaries. The film highlights a diversity of perspectives including an anatomical sculptor in South Africa and a big game taxidermist in Ohio. Stuffed reveals the importance of preserving nature, using taxidermy as its unlikely vehicle, and the taxidermist as its wild driver. 2019. 1h24m.

n Synonyms — Winner of the Golden Bear at Berlinale, the latest from Nadav Lapid (The Kindergarten Teacher) features a dynamic lead performance from newcomer Tom Mercier, whose feral intensity practically bursts out of the frame. Mercier plays Yoav, a disaffected young Israeli who flees Tel Aviv for Paris to start a new life. Desperate to erase his origins, Yoav sees becoming French as his only hope for salvation. Step one is to replace his language. From now on, he will not utter a single word of Hebrew and his dictionary becomes his constant companion. His work at the Israeli embassy is a burden, but studying for his naturalization test also has its pitfalls. And the young French couple he befriends has some rather strange ideas about how to help him. Based on writer-director Nadav Lapid’s own experiences, Synonyms explores the challenges of putting down roots in a new place. In French with subtitles. 2019. 2h03m.

n Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project — Q&A with the film’s producer Kyle Martin on Saturday, 11/23 following 6:00pm screening. A Communist radical who became fabulously wealthy, Marion Stokes secretly recorded American television 24 hours a day from 1975 until her death in 2012. For Marion, taping was a form of activism to seek the truth, and she believed that a comprehensive archive of the media would one day be invaluable. Her visionary and maddening project nearly tore her family apart, but now her 70,000 VHS tapes are being digitized for future generations. 2019. 1h27m.

n Greener Grass — In a bizarro version of suburbia – where adults wear braces on their already-straight teeth, everyone drives golf carts, and children magically turn into golden retrievers – best friends Jill and Lisa are locked in a passive aggressive battle-of-the-wills that takes a turn into the sinister when Lisa begins systematically taking over Jill’s life. Meanwhile, a psycho killer is on the loose, Jill’s husband (SNL’s Beck Bennett) has developed a curious taste for pool water, and Lisa is pregnant with a soccer ball. A hilariously demented, Stepford Wives-on-acid satire destined to be an instant cult classic. 2019. 1h37m.

n Female Pleasure — A documentary on five courageous and self-determined women, breaking the silence imposed by their societies and religious communities. With incredible strength, Deborah Feldman, Leyla Hussein, Rokudenashiko, Doris Wagner, and Vithika Yadav are fighting for sexual liberation and autonomy for women, beyond religious rules and cultural barriers. Their victory comes at a high price. In English, German, French, and Japanese with subtitles. 2018. 1h41m.

n American Dharma — No stranger to interviewing some of the most controversial figures of our time, Errol Morris (The Fog of War, The Unknown Known) trains his lens on Stephen K. Bannon, questioning him closely about his beliefs, current feelings about President Trump, and films that shaped and continue to animate Bannon’s understanding of the world. Morris concludes that whatever one thinks of Bannon, ignoring him is the most dangerous course of action. 2019. 1h37m.

Mount to host talk by Janet Braun-Reinitz, freedom rider

NEWBURGH – November 2019 – Mount Saint Mary College will host a talk by Janet Braun-Reinitz, who participated in the early 1960s civil rights movement, on Thursday, November 21 at 6 p.m. in Aquinas Hall Theatre.

Met Opera HD Live: Philip Glass’s Akhnaten

Saturday, November 23, 12:30 p.m.

MET PREMIERE / FIRST TIME IN HD

Conductor: Karen Kamensek

Production: Phelim McDermott

Set Designer: Tom Pye

Costume Designer: Kevin Pollard

Lighting Designer: Bruno Poet

Choreographer: Sean Gandini

Cast: Dísella Lárusdóttir (Queen Tye), J’Nai Bridges (Nefertiti), Anthony Roth Costanzo (Akhnaten), Aaron Blake (High Priest of Amon), Will Liverman (Horemhab), Richard Bernstein (Aye), Zachary James (Amenhotep)

Phelim McDermott, whose productions include the hugely successful Satyagraha by Philip Glass, returns to the Met with a new staging of Glass’s Akhnaten, conducted by Karen Kamensek in her Met debut. Anthony Roth Costanzo sings the title role of the Egyptian pharaoh who attempted to inspire his people to adopt a new religion, abandoning the worship of the old gods for that of a single deity. In her Met debut, J’Nai Bridges sings the role of Nefertiti, Akhnaten’s bride, and Dísella Lárusdóttir is Queen Tye, the pharaoh’s mother. One of the staging’s distinctive visual features is provided by the Gandini Juggling Company, whose movements are perfectly choreographed with the orchestral score. This production of Akhnaten was originally created by LA Opera, Improbable, and English National Opera, where it premiered, winning the 2017 Olivier Award for Best New Opera Production.

The Liberation

Saturday, November 23, 7:30 p.m.

HRC Showcase Theatre is pleased to announce the second staged reading of its 29th season of presenting new plays to residents of the Hudson Valley. From over 200 submissions to our annual nationwide playwriting contest, only five plays were selected by our panel of judges.

Professional actors will read The Liberation by Cate Wiley.In this compelling drama a history professor in upstate New York, fired from her job on a trumped-up sex charge, relocates to Paris, where she continues her research on French women accused of sleeping with Nazi soldiers during World War II. In 1944, during the Liberation, these women had their heads shaved publically and were forced to march in the streets amid the jeering crowds. Wiley’s play explores sexual shaming then and now.
