SUMMARY:Journalism Film Series: Broadcast News
DESCRIPTION:“Broadcast News\,” the next movie in the Journalism Film Series at the Latchis Theatre\, is both a time capsule and a work of prophesy. \nThis 1987 dramatic comedy starring Holly Hunter\, Albert Brooks\, and William Hurt will be shown on Sunday\, Jan. 7\, at 4 p.m.\, at the Latchis. Admission is free\, but donations are welcome. \nThe 1980s were a period of transition for broadcast journalism. It was the last decade\, before the rise of the internet and 24-hour cable news channels\, when the news operations of the three major television networks delivered both prestige and profits and tens of millions watched the evening news each night. \nBut many of the pioneers of television news in 1950s and 1960s were leaving the scene\, and a new generation of broadcast journalists were taking over. Selling the sizzle\, not the steak\, became the new goal of television news. \nWritten\, directed\, and produced by James L. Brooks\, the multiple Emmy Award-winning creator of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show\,” “Rhoda\,” “Lou Grant\,” and “Taxi\, “Broadcast News” received seven Academy Award nominations. \nOn the surface\, “Broadcast News” is a classic love triangle played out in a workplace setting\, in this case\, the Washington bureau of a network news operation. \nBut\, as the late film critic Roger Ebert described it\, the film is really about “three people who toy with the idea of love\, but are obsessed with the idea of making television.” \n“Anyone who has worked in journalism will tell you that the rush of working on deadline on a big story is as good as and\, sometimes\, surpasses the rush of great sex\,” said Randy Holhut\, news editor of The Commons and host of the journalism film series. “The main characters in ‘Broadcast News’ are focused on their work\, and romance is way down on the list of priorities.” \nAlong the way\, the film slides in some bigger topics\, such as journalistic ethics\, the clash of profits with news gathering\, and why the “pretty boys” seem to get all the career breaks in TV news. \nThe series is being produced by a coalition composed of the Friends of Brooks Memorial Library\, Brooks Memorial Library\, The Commons\, the Brattleboro Reformer and the Latchis Theater. \nThe first season of the film series will conclude on Feb. 25 with the 2015 Academy Award for Best Picture winner “Spotlight\,” which tells the story of how the investigative journalists of the Boston Globe exposed a massive scandal of child molestation inside the Catholic Church. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen: Canaletto & The Art of Venice
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Screen begins its 2017-18 season with “Canaletto & The Art of Venice\,” an immersive journey into the life and art of Venice’s famous view painter. “Canaletto & The Art of Venice” will be presented at the Latchis Theatre\, 50 Main St.\, on Saturday and Sunday\, Dec. 2-3\, at 4 p.m. \nNO artist better captures the essence and allure of Venice than Giovanni Antonio Canal\, better known as Canaletto. Despite Canaletto’s association with the in which he lived and died\, the world’s largest collection of his works resides in Britain as part of the Royal Collection. In 1762\, King George III purchased almost the entire collection amassed by Joseph Smith\, British Consul in Venice and Canaletto’s principal agent. \nExhibition in Screen’s newest film grants viewers unique access to the Royal Collection’s exceptional holdings of Canaletto’s work\, much of which has been on display as part of the exhibition Canaletto & The Art of Venice at The Queens Gallery. The remarkable group of more than 200 paintings\, drawings and prints on display offer unparalleled insight into the art of Canaletto and his contemporaries\, and the city he became a master at capturing. The film also offers a chance to step inside two royal residences – Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle – to learn more about the artist and Joseph Smith. \nFrom London\, “Canaletto & The Arts o Venice” travels to the great Italian City to explore the origins of Canaletto’s art. While appearing to be faithful representations of the city\, the artist’s skill came from his manipulation of reality. He moved buildings around or opened up vistas to create the perfect composition. His playful imagination pioneered a new genre. The “capriccio” combined real and fantasy architecture into imagined views. \nGuided by Royal Collection Trust curators and the world’s leading experts in Venetian history\, the film is not only a wonderful way to see the exhibition but also an opportunity to get closer to Canaletto and the city that inspired him. \nAdmission is $12\, $6 for students\, available at the door.

SUMMARY:Movies for Kids
DESCRIPTION:Latchis Arts brings back its popular Movies for Kids series on Sunday mornings starting in November and continuing January through March. \nKids – and their big people and everyone who is a kid-at-heart – are invited to showings of movies at the Latchis Theatre\, 50 Main St.\, on Sundays at 11 a.m. Admission to the movies is by donation. \nMovies for Kids will a monthly theme and offer both contemporary and older films that fit into that theme. The theme for November is Horses. The series starts with “Dreamer” on Nov. 5\, at 11 a.m.\, followed on Nov. 12\, by “The Derby Stallion\,” “National Velvet” on Nov. 19\, and “Spirit” on Nov. 26. \nLast year\, Movies for Kids drew more than 1\,200 audience members of all ages. The program was initiated by Latchis Arts Board Member Jonathan Schwartz as a way to introduce young people and folks of all ages to great entertaining films\, with admission by donation so that price would not be a barrier. The series quickly proved popular\, with many families returning week after week. The November series theme of Horses was suggested by a family which came often to last year’s films. \n“Dreamer” is a film from 2005\, rated PG\, that stars Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning. Inspired by a true story\, it tells about Ben Crane\, a gifted horse trainer who decides to devote his efforts to a horse named Sonny whose broken was believed to have ended its career. Ben’s daughter Cale is determined bring these two damaged souls together to win the Breeder’s Cup. Richard Roeper of Ebert and Roeper called it “a great family film.” “It’s a movie that will captivate children\, yes\, but it will also capture the hearts of grown-ups\, too\,” wrote David Cornelius of DVDTalk.com. \nOn Nov. 12 at 11 a.m.\, the series featured “The Derby Stallion\,” a PG film from 2005 that starts young High School Music heartthrob Zac Effron as a boy who develops a sense of purpose and some new friends through an unlikely alliance with an aging musician who is trying to turn his horse into a winner. “The relationship between boy and mentor is touching\, Effron is adorable\, family values are applauded\,” wrote Beth Johnson of Entertainment Weekly. \nOn Nov. 19\, the series turns to a great classic\, the 1944 heartwarmer that launched the career of then 11-year-old Elizabeth Taylor\, starring alongside Mickey Rooney. Dejected following a serious accident\, a trainer (Rooney) plans to steal from the family that has taken him in\, but his resolve is weakened by the kindness of young Velvet (Taylor). They form a common bond in their love of horses\, and together they strive to turn a horse believed to be untrainable into a champion. “This a charmer for boys and girls of all ages\, with a captivating performance from the young Liz Taylor\,” wrote Time Out. Emmanuel Levy said “Elizabeth Taylor\, then 11\, gives a compelling performance in what’s one of the most likeable and popular child-animal tales.” \nNovember’s films conclude with “Spirit\,” the 2002 G-Rated animated film that stars Matt Damon\, as the voice of Spirit\, a wild Mustang stallion living in the Old West who’s captured by horse traders and sold to a cavalry outfit\, where a cruel colonel tries to tame him. But Spirit’s yearning to be free proves very strong. Laura King of the Chicago Tribune called it “a welcome family film that extols noble values and offers first-class animation.” \nFor more information\, visit latchisarts.org or theatre.latchis.com.

SUMMARY:Journalism Film Series: Ace in the Hole
DESCRIPTION:The history of journalism has not always been honorable. It is littered with the stories of scoundrels willing to do anything for a story… anything at all. Perhaps the best portrayal of an amoral\, anything-for-a-scoop reporter is found in the one-two punch that is Billy Wilder’s 1951 film Ace in the Hole\, starring Kirk Douglas. \nThe Journalism Film Series presents this witty yet brutal film at the Latchis Theatre on Sunday\, Nov. 19\, at 4 p.m. Admission is free\, and donations are welcome. \nAce in the Hole was the film Wilder made after his Oscar-winning Sunset Boulevard\, and the first one he wrote as well as produced and directed. What he sets out to show us is that not every journalist is a hero. Some of them cross the line — and then some — to get a scoop. \nDouglas plays Chuck Tatum\, a down-on-his-luck big time reporter who is now reduced to writing for a sleepy little paper in Albuquerque\, N.M.  When he hears about a man trapped alive inside a cavern\, he sees a story that could be his ticket back to the big city. \n“There’s not a soft or sentimental passage [in Ace in the Hole]\, a portrait of rotten journalism and the public’s insatiable appetite for it\,” wrote the late film critics Roger Ebert. “Wilder\, true to this vision and ahead of his time\, made a movie in which the only good men are the victim and his doctor. Instead of blaming the journalist who masterminds a media circus\, he is equally hard on sightseers who pay 25 cents admission. Nobody gets off the hook here.” \n“The film was a box-office flop when it first came out\, but with the passage of time\, Ace in the Hole comes off as prophesy\,” said Randy Holhut\, news editor of The Commons\, who will host the screening of the film and lead a discussion about afterward. “It is a cautionary tale about news as spectacle\, and how easy it is to create it. It is also tightly written and edited\, and crackles with energy. Even after 65 years\, it holds up. … In our current era of fake news and devalued journalism\, we have witnessed so many journalists willing to exchange honesty for access\, and many hell-bent-for-ratings television networks willing to employ them. That makes this film is especially timely.” \nThe Journalism Film Festival is a joint production of The Commons\, the Brattleboro Reformer\, the Brooks Memorial Library\, the Friends of Brooks Memorial Library and the Latchis Theatre.

SUMMARY:Movies for Kids: Horses in November
DESCRIPTION:Latchis Arts brings back its popular Movies for Kids series on Sunday mornings starting in November and continuing January through March. \nKids – and their big people and everyone who is a kid-at-heart – are invited to showings of movies at the Latchis Theatre\, 50 Main St.\, on Sundays at 11 a.m. Admission to the movies is by donation. \nMovies for Kids will a monthly theme and offer both contemporary and older films that fit into that theme. The theme for November is Horses. The series starts with “Dreamer” on Nov. 5\, at 11 a.m.\, followed on Nov. 12\, by “The Derby Stallion\,” “National Velvet” on Nov. 19\, and “Spirit” on Nov. 26. \nLast year\, Movies for Kids drew more than 1\,200 audience members of all ages. The program was initiated by Latchis Arts Board Member Jonathan Schwartz as a way to introduce young people and folks of all ages to great entertaining films\, with admission by donation so that price would not be a barrier. The series quickly proved popular\, with many families returning week after week. The November series theme of Horses was suggested by a family which came often to last year’s films. \n“Dreamer” is a film from 2005\, rated PG\, that stars Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning. Inspired by a true story\, it tells about Ben Crane\, a gifted horse trainer who decides to devote his efforts to a horse named Sonny whose broken was believed to have ended its career. Ben’s daughter Cale is determined bring these two damaged souls together to win the Breeder’s Cup. Richard Roeper of Ebert and Roeper called it “a great family film.” “It’s a movie that will captivate children\, yes\, but it will also capture the hearts of grown-ups\, too\,” wrote David Cornelius of DVDTalk.com. \nOn Nov. 12 at 11 a.m.\, the series featured “The Derby Stallion\,” a PG film from 2005 that starts young High School Music heartthrob Zac Effron as a boy who develops a sense of purpose and some new friends through an unlikely alliance with an aging musician who is trying to turn his horse into a winner. “The relationship between boy and mentor is touching\, Effron is adorable\, family values are applauded\,” wrote Beth Johnson of Entertainment Weekly. \nOn Nov. 19\, the series turns to a great classic\, the 1944 heartwarmer that launched the career of then 11-year-old Elizabeth Taylor\, starring alongside Mickey Rooney. Dejected following a serious accident\, a trainer (Rooney) plans to steal from the family that has taken him in\, but his resolve is weakened by the kindness of young Velvet (Taylor). They form a common bond in their love of horses\, and together they strive to turn a horse believed to be untrainable into a champion. “This a charmer for boys and girls of all ages\, with a captivating performance from the young Liz Taylor\,” wrote Time Out. Emmanuel Levy said “Elizabeth Taylor\, then 11\, gives a compelling performance in what’s one of the most likeable and popular child-animal tales.” \nNovember’s films conclude with “Spirit\,” the 2002 G-Rated animated film that stars Matt Damon\, as the voice of Spirit\, a wild Mustang stallion living in the Old West who’s captured by horse traders and sold to a cavalry outfit\, where a cruel colonel tries to tame him. But Spirit’s yearning to be free proves very strong. Laura King of the Chicago Tribune called it “a welcome family film that extols noble values and offers first-class animation.” \nFor more information\, visit latchisarts.org or theatre.latchis.com.

SUMMARY:The Uncondemned: Film and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:The Brattleboro Film Festival (BFF) will present the documentary “The Uncondemned” as part of its annual festival\, Saturday\, November 4 at 5 p.m. in the Latchis Main Theater\, along with a post-screening discussion. \nCo-sponsored by Latchis Arts and the Windham World Affairs Council\, “The Uncondemned” is a riveting documentary about an underdog group of lawyers and activists who defied the odds to do what had never been done: prosecute rape as an international war crime. Up until this point\, rape had not been prosecuted as a war crime and was committed with impunity. Secret memos\, witness assassinations\, setbacks and barriers––The Uncondemned captures the untold\, remarkable story that changed the course of international judicial history.  \Acclaimed by the Guardian as “a courtroom thriller crackling with suspense” “The Uncondemned” beautifully interweaves a personal human drama and the stories of the characters in this odyssey\, leading to the trial at an international criminal court–and the results that changed the world of criminal justice forever. \nScreening will be followed with a discussion with film Director Michele Mitchell and the Honorable Patricia Whalen. Whalen has been a judge for more than 20 years\, presiding over proceedings in the U.S. and serving as an international judge in the War Crimes Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina (2007–2012). She is currently a Special Advisor to the Court in Bosnia and Herzegovina\, focusing on judicial education in international law\, judicial management systems\, trial management\, hybrid legal systems\, and judicial trial skills particularly in regards to war crimes\, genocide\, crimes against humanity\, and gender-based violence. She lives in Westminster West. This event is supported in part by the Vermont Humanities Council. \nMore information can be found at: http://www.theuncondemned.com and at www.brattleborofilmfestival.org \n  \n

SUMMARY:Journalism Film Series: All the President's Men
DESCRIPTION:What started as a “third-rate burglary” ended with the resignation of a president of the United States. \nOn Sunday\, October 22 at 4 p.m.\, the 1976 film “All the President’s Men” will be shown free of charge on the big screen at the Latchis Theater\, followed by a panel discussion on the importance today of investigative journalism. On the panel will be deputy editor of The Commons Randy Holhut\, long-time reporter for the Rutland Herald Susan Smallheer\, and former editor-in-chief of the Brattleboro Reformer and now editorial manager for the School for International Training in Brattleboro\, Kata Casa. \nThe story of how two young reporters at the Washington Post unravelled a criminal conspiracy that led all the way to the Oval Office inspired a whole generation of young people to get Into journalism. Alan J. Pakula’s multi-award-winning film\, starring Robert Redford as Bob Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Carl Bernstein\, gave them the final push. \nIn The Age of Trump\, “fake news\,” and the discrediting of the journalism profession\, the film is an excellent example of how dogged\, thorough reporting keeps the powerful honest\, the citizenry engaged and our democracy intact. \nThis film is the second in the series. The first\, the 1952 “Deadline USA” starring Humphrey Bogart\, was shown in May. \nThe festival will continue with a look at the darker side of journalism with Kirk Douglas’s gripping 1951 film “Ace in the Hole\,” showing on November 19th; 1987’s caustic look inside broadcast media\, “Broadcast News\,” will be shown on January 7th; and the 2015 Academy Award for Best Picture winner “Spotlight\,” which tells the story of how the investigative journalists of the Boston Globe exposed a massive scandal of child molestation inside the Catholic Church\, will be shown on February 25. All the films are being shown at 4pm and all will be followed by panel discussions. \nThe event is being produced by a coalition composed of the Friends of Brooks Memorial Library\, Brooks Memorial Library\, The Commons\, the Brattleboro Reformer and the Latchis Theater. \n

SUMMARY:The Met: Live in HD  - Die Zauberflote
DESCRIPTION:Latchis Arts presents MET LIVE in HD’s “Die Zauberflöte” at the Latchis Theatre\, Saturday\, October 14\, at 1 p.m.\, with a pre-Opera talk by scholar Lisa Cox at 12 noon. \nLisa Cox has a Ph.D. in Classical Studies and teaches languages and history at Greenfield Community College\, where she asks her students to interpret Enlightenment thinking or Latin grammar. She’s been thinking about Mozart opera for over 40 years\, ever since her music theory professor at Middlebury asked his students to interpret Don Giovanni’s “Là ci darem la mano.” \nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Die Zauberflöte” has engaged audiences with this universal fairy tale since its premiere in Vienna in 1791.  Earthly comedy and noble mysticism presented in a singspiel (“song-play”) format delighted from all walks of life.  Composer Mozart and librettist Schikaneder were both freemasons – the fraternal organization whose membership is held together by shared moral and metaphysical ideas – and Masonic imagery is used throughout the work. On its face\, the story of Die Zauberflöte is a classic tale of adventure replete with heroic deeds\, supernatural enchantments\, and the triumph of good over evil. \n  \nConductor James Levine and Production/Costume Designer Julie Taymor help create a wonderful presentation of a fairy tale that continues to delight audiences around the globe. The exquisite duet between Papageno and Papagena\, as well as the puppets and visual splendor will bring smiles to everyone\, young and old.  Cast includes Baritone Markus Werba as Papageno\, Soprano Kathryn Lewek as the Queen of the Night\, and Bass René Pape as Sarastro. \n  \nTickets are $22 for the Opera\, $10 for the Pre-Opera Talk; $20 for MET CLUB FOREVER members and $8 for the Talk\, Students are $10 for the Opera and $5 for the talk. Please contact Sharry Manning sjmpr@comcast.net\, 802-257-5717 for questions or advance credit-card purchase. The Opera runs 3 hrs. 29 mins with an intermission that includes backstage interviews.

SUMMARY:Fright That Grows Film Series: Corpse Bride
DESCRIPTION:As October darkens its way toward Halloween\, Latchis Arts presents “Fright That Grows\,” a series of progressively scary movies on Saturdays and Sundays in October at 4 p.m. Admission to all series movies is by donation\, and proceeds benefit Latchis Arts. \n“Fright That Grows” opens this Saturday and Sunday\, Oct. 7 and 8\, at 4 p.m.\, with Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride.” An animated feature that charmed audiences in 2005 and remains popular today with an 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes\, “Corpse Bride” has been hailed as “a brilliantly animate\, deliciously macabre and strangely touching triumph” (Jon Fortgang of Film 4). “Corpse Bride” is Rated PG and runs 74 minutes. \nThe series continues on Oct. 14 and 15 at 4 p.m. with “Little Shop of Horrors\,” the 1986 musical starring Rick Moranis\, Ellen Greene and Steve Martin. A fan favorite\, “Little Shop of Horrors” is Rated PG-13 and runs 94 minutes. “This wild and witty musical is great fun\,” opined Geoff Andrew of Time Out\, one of the critics responsible for its 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomates. \nOn Oct. 21 and 22\, “Fright That Grows” features “Shaun of the Dead\,” this genre-bending blend of scariness and satire from 2004. “It’s a bloody fun time and a wonderful display of how parody should be done\,” wrote Chad Nelson of the Detroit Metro News. With a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes\, “Shaun of the Dead” is Rated R and runs 97 minutes. \n“Fright That Grow” reaches its harrowing conclusion on Oct. 28 and 29 with “The Exorcist.” One of the scariest films of all time\, “The Exorcist” set the standard in 1973 and remains so today. “The Exorcist\, with its excellent cast\, mounting intensity and ingeniously constructed surprises\, is still a commanding achievement\,” wrote Desmond Ryan of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Starring Linda Blair\, Ellen Burstyn\, Max Von Sydow and Jason Miller\, “The Exorcist” is Rated R and runs two hours. \nProceeds from donations at these movies benefit the non-profit Latchis Arts.
