Films at TSL:

Aida’s Secrets – A web of family secrets unravels in this moving documentary following a family fractured by war.  Two brothers, Izak and Shep, were born inside the Bergen-Belsen displaced  persons camp in 1945 and separated as babies, never told of the other’s existence.  Nearly 70 years later, the discovery of family records leads the brothers to an emotional reunion with their elderly mother, Aida, who hid more from Izak and Shep than just each other.  In Hebrew with English subtitles

Chavela – “…the captivating portrait of singer Chavela Vargas, whose passionate renditions of popular Ranchera songs made her a beloved figure in Mexico…After disappearing from the public eye for decades, Chavela makes a triumphant return to the stage, earning her a new level of international fame late in life.” – In Spanish with English subtitles

Rat Film – – “’There’s never been a rat problem in Baltimore.  It’s always been a people problem. Across walls, fences, and alleys, rats not only expose our boundaries of separation but they make homes in them.  Rat Film is a feature-length documentary that uses the rat—as well as the humans that love them, live with them, and kill them—to explore the history of Baltimore. – A brilliantly imaginative and formally experimental essay on how Baltimore has dealt with its rat problem and manipulated its black population.’”—The New York Times, 2017 – Directed by Theo Anthony

The Sacrifice – (1986) – A new restoration of famed Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky’s final film.  As a wealthy Swedish family celebrates the birthday of its patriarch, news of the outbreak of World War Three reaches their remote Baltic island and the happy mood turns to horror – In Swedish with English subtitles–

Faces Places – Eighty-nine-year-old Agnes Varda, one of the leading figures of the French New Wave, and acclaimed French photographer and muralist JR teamed up to direct this enchanting documentary…Together they travel the villages of France in JR’s truck meeting locals, learning their stories and producing epic-size portraits of them.  The photos are prominently displayed on houses, barns, storefronts, and trains, revealing the humanity in their subjects and themselves.  – In French with English subtitles.

Jane – Drawing from over 100 hours of never-before-seen-footage that was tucked away in the National Geographic archives for over 50 years, award-winning director Brett Morgen tells the story of Jane Goodall, a woman whose chimpanzee research challenged the male-dominated scientific consensus of her time and revolutionized our understanding of the natural world.  Set to a rich orchestral score from legendary composer Philip Glass, the film offers an unprecedented, intimate portrait of Goodall, a trailblazer who defied the odds to become one of the world’s most admired conservationists.

Hudson’s Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner – Since the 1980s, the First Presbyterian Church Community Thanksgiving Dinner has been an opportunity to bring the community together, feed those less fortunate and extend the church’s ministry through a day of outreach.  Forced to shut the doors of the church due to emergency roof repair, the festive meal has been more difficult to organize.  Christ Church Episcopal Church has agreed to host the event again this year.  Rev. Beilke at First Pres emphasizes that this event is not just for those in need, but a means to bring the whole community together.  Volunteers are needed to help set tables, prepare the meal, and serve the meal, but also to deliver meals to shut-ins.  Last year 150 meals were delivered and 70 meals were served in house.  A wide variety of food is also needed.  To volunteer and/or learn what specific food might be needed, call 518-267-9322 – A gofundmecampaign has also been established at www.gofundme.com/1st-pres-annual-thanksgiving-meal
