Films at TSL:

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 their 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.

Columbus – When an architecture scholar falls ill during a speaking tour, his son Jin finds himself stranded in Columbus Indiana, a small Midwestern city, celebrated for its many significant modernist buildings.  Jin strikes up a friendship with Casey, a young architecture enthusiast who works at the library.  As their intimacy develops Jin and Casey explore both the town and their conflicted emotions—Jin’s estranged relationship with his father and Casey’s reluctance to leave Columbus and her mother.  Columbus is a showcase for Director Kogonada whose striking eye translates how physical space can affect emotions –

Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World – Many artists and musical forms played a role in the creation of rock, but arguably, no single piece of music was more influential than the 1958 instrumental Rumble by American Indian rock guitarist and singer/songwriter Link Wray.  This is the story of a profound, essential, and, until now, missing chapter in the history of American music: the Indigenous influence.  Featuring musical icons Charley Patton, Mildred Bailey, Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix, Jesse Ed Davis, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Robbie Robertson, and others. Rumbles shows how these talented Native musicians shaped the soundtracks of our lives.

The Departure – Ittetsu Nemoto, a former punk-turned-Buddhist-priest in Japan, has made a career out of helping suicidal people find reasons to live. But his work has come increasingly at the cost of his own family and health, as he refuses to draw lines between those he counsels and himself.  The film captures Nemoto at a crossroads, when his growing self-destructive tendencies lead him to confront the same question his patients ask him: what makes life worth living?  This is the second documentary by award-winning director Lana Wilson.  It is a poetic and deeply moving film that contemplates death as a way of better understanding how we should live.  – In Japanese 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.

*PICK OF THE WEEK* – Opera at the Opera House! – To celebrate the opening of its second floor performance hall and the 100th year anniversary of women’s right to vote in New York State, Hudson Hall at the Hudson Opera House is producing Virgil Thomson’s rarely performed opera, The Mother of Us All, about the famous suffragette Susan B. Anthony and her struggles to get the vote for women.  The opera has a libretto by Gertrude Stein. and is directed by R. B. Schlather with music direction  by Tony Kieraldo, and a vocal and instrumental ensemble of over 30 Hudson Valley residents.  Mezzo-soprano Michaela Martens plays the lead role of Susan B. Anthony.  Not only are the cast and directors  local, but the lighting, set and costume design are all the work of talented local individuals as well.  The entire cast and crew is a reflection of the community of artistic talent that resides in the Hudson Valley, and draws attention to the Hudson Opera House, and its history as a cultural and civic beacon in the City of Hudson .

To accompany the performances of the opera, Hudson Hall is offering a series of free pre-and post-performance gatherings called the “Not Talk Back Salon Series,” which invite the public to hear from creative thinkers, local historians and contemporary artists to explore the opera’s themes that are increasingly relevant today.  Some of these gatherings are included in the opera ticket price, while others are free and open to the public.  Brochure available at the Opera House. – Other highlights include a pop-up canteen by local Hudson restaurant/installation/performance project, Lil’Deb’s Oasis, and a mobile Experimental Reading Room where visitors and cast can immerse themselves in Stein’s world through the written and spoken word.

The Mother of Us All runs for five performances only on November 11, 12, 15, 18, and 19.  The tickets for the Wednesday performance are sold at a reduced rate.  Opening night is already sold out, and other performances are going fast.  In order to make the opera accessible to as many members of the community as possible, a limited number of “General Admission-Standing” tickets for every performance have just been put on sale. Standing Room ticket holders are invited to stand on the periphery of the performance area, to sit on the carpeted floor, or a combination of both. – All performances start at 4 pm.

Reports also includes works by IR artists  Nancy Shaver, Allyson Strafella, Maximilian Goldfarb, Tyler Rowland, Carla Herrera-Prats, Taylor Davis, Joan Linder, Nick Tobier, Edna Arloween, Chris Lee, and Helen Mirra, and an accompanying publication documenting this project and including all participants and projects over the course of ten years.  Concurrently, Incident No.101 will be installed by Bruce Dow in the IR viewing station at 348 Warren Street.  Dow installed Incident No.1 in 2007.  The exhibitions will be on view through October 27.  Events will be programmed at September Gallery for subsequent Saturday afternoons – For information about the exhibitions  email  [email protected] – 6 to 8 pm – September Gallery, 449 Warren Street, #3.
