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: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\, Nov. 25-26 and 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. For more information\, visit www.latchisarts.org or contact Jon Potter at jon@0je.22e.myftpupload.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: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:FLOW: Carnegie Hall Preview Concert
DESCRIPTION:The road to Carnegie Hall passes through Brattleboro’s Latchis Theatre on Wednesday\, October 4\, when four renowned musical friends\, including Grammy-winning acoustic guitarist Will Ackerman\, unveil songs from their new release FLOW. \nForty years after Ackerman’s Windham Hill studio became a catalyst for the global new age musical phenomenon\, its bountiful legacy of best-selling solo works (George Winston\, Liz Story\, Alex DeGrassi\, Michael Hedges) and Grammy winning ensembles (Shadowfax) extends into a truly new age with FLOW – a new four-piece ensemble comprised of Ackerman and three of today’s most acclaimed independent artists\, Australian pianist Fiona Joy\, acoustic guitarist Lawrence Blatt and flugelhorn master Jeff Oster. All in\, FLOW members have accumulated armloads of accolades and honors\, from GRAMMY® Awards\, to ZMRs\, IMAs\, IAMAs and a catalog of #1 albums in the genre. \nTwo days before FLOW will be unveiled at an album release celebration performance at Carnegie Hall\, they will present this special Preview Performance at the Latchis Theatre on Oct. 4\, at 7:30 p.m. Proceeds from the concert benefit the non-profit Latchis Arts. \nFormed out of mutual and collective long-term friendships and a history of working and playing together over the past eight years\, FLOW is not only an unusual anagram of their names (Fiona\, Lawrence\, Oster\, Will) but also reflects the foursome’s fresh international new age sound and the graceful atmospheric and rhythmic ease with which each of the album’s 11 tracks streams into the next. \nThe concept of FLOW had its origins in 2015\, when Blatt invited Joy and Oster to join him at Ackerman’s Imaginary Road Studios in Windham County’s West River Valley to create an album inspired by the iconic Windham Hill sound and ensembles. Ackerman had already produced several of Fiona Joy’s and Oster’s albums plus Blatt’s recordings The Color of Sunshine\, Emergence\, and Latitudes and Longitudes featuring Oster on horn. \n  \nReflecting on FLOW’s debut project\, Oster says\, “If you look back into any time of human existence\, this need for peaceful breathing and listening has always and will always be deeply important. It’s not only New Age music\, it is EVERY AGE music!” \nTickets to FLOW at the Latchis are $15 and are available at the door or here: https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?ticketing=larts .  For more information\, visit www.latchisarts.org.

SUMMARY:Latchis Arts Salutes Jerry Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Latchis Arts salutes the life and comedic legacy of the late\, great Jerry Lewis with screenings of two films representing different aspects and eras of his career. \nOn Saturday\, September 16\, at 4 p.m. Latchis Arts will present “The King of Comedy\,” the dark 1982 film which in many ways marked Lewis’ comeback after a period of setbacks. On Sunday\, September 17\, at 4 p.m.\, we will show “The Bellhop\,” a hilarious\, 1960 slapstick comedy that shows Lewis at the height of his powers. Admission to both films will be by donation\, and proceeds will be shared between Latchis Arts and the Muscular Dystrophy Association\, the cause which Lewis poured his heart and soul into for decades\, ultimately raising more than $2 billion through telethons and other efforts. \nDirected by Martin Scorsese\, “The King of Comedy” stars Robert DeNiro as an inspiring comedian who strives to achieve success in show business by stalking his idol\, a late night talk show host played by Lewis. Earning mixed reviews at the time of its release\, the film has grown in stature and relevance. Philip Horne of the UK Daily Telegraph called it “a disturbing picture of a world in which television is taken for a ‘reality’ higher than everyday life.” Matt Brunson of Creative Loafing said\, “this jet black comedy is a symphony of unease.” \nThough known to millions thanks to the annual Labor Day Weekend telethons for the Muscular Dystrophy Association\, Lewis was in a personal and professional slump at the time “The King of Comedy” was released. The success of the film restored his stature\, and Lewis was praised for the depth and brilliance of his acting\, not for the comic pratfalls for which he was known. \nBy contrast\, “The Bellhop” is 100% pure\, unadulterated slapstick. In this 1960 comedy\, which marked his debut as a director\, writer and producer\, as well as actor\, Lewis plays a mistake-prone bellboy at a posh Miami hotel. He speaks no dialogue as he careens through a silly stream of scenarios. \nCritics have hailed “The Bellhop” as “nothing less than a masterpiece” and “one of the funniest all-time comedies” and “Jerry at his rawest and most creative.” \nIn his life\, Lewis was a complex and polarizing figure who could be as contemptuous and cantankerous and he was beloved and brilliant. With his death on August 20\, at the age of 91\, Latchis Arts will honor the talented performer he was through the screenings of these two films and through sharing the proceeds with the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

SUMMARY:Fantastic Wantastiquet Gala with Lyla June Johnston
DESCRIPTION:Nationally-renowned singer/songwriter and Indigenous Rights Activist Lyla June Johnston\, of Taos\, New Mexico\, will headline Brattleboro’s new Fantastic Wantastiquet Festival in a gala keynote gathering at the Latchis Theatre at 2 p.m.\, on Saturday\, September 16. \n“Lyla June’s presence here heralds a call to people of all Nations\, particularly First Nation/Indigenous peoples\, to converge on the Wantastiquet region\,” said John Wilmerding\, Festival organizer. \nWilmerding first conceived of Fantastic Wantastiquet in 2015 as a plan to bring the area’s arts and cultural offerings under one marketing banner. “I knew it would elevate and transform us and enhance our relationship with these lands\,” he said. The name of the Festival in effect recovers and re-claims the original name of the West River — ‘Wantastiquet’ – which translates as ‘River leading to the West.’ \nThe performance dovetails with a successful effort to have the Town of Brattleboro observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day this year instead of Columbus Day. \n“This has deepened the Festival’s emphasis on these peoples and lands\,” he said. “It’s enabled us to choose new themes and content for the Festival. However\, we are not organizing the Indigenous Peoples Day events. Those are being created by indigenous folks who live locally.” \nThe official themes announced for this first year of Fantastic Wantastiquet are ‘Celebrating People and Place’\, the local rivers (especially Wantastiquet and Connecticut)\, the ‘Fall Foliage’ and the other natural beauty found in our area\, and ‘The Better Angels of Our Nature’\, which is a quote from Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address. \n“Lyla June\, however\, carries her own themes with her\, especially the central theme of her most popular song\, ‘All Nations Rise’”\, said Wilmerding. The performing artist was responsible for helping indigenous and other peoples to rally last year near Standing Rock\, ND\, to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline\, and also at a subsequent Unity Rally near the Black Hills of South Dakota. Other special guests will be present\, many of them traveling from afar\, as excitement in Brattleboro grows for our first Indigenous Peoples Day activities in early October. \nThe Latchis program\, planned for 2:00 on Saturday\, September 16\, will be ‘admission-by-donation’ with a suggested amount of $10 but a ‘no one turned away’ policy as well. Proceeds will go to benefit charities benefitting indigenous peoples\, especially youth suicide prevention and womens’ issues. \nFor more information about this topic\, contact John Wilmerding at 802-254-2826 or email at FWF@myfairpoint.net \n

SUMMARY:National Theatre simulcast: Salome
DESCRIPTION:Simulcasts of the National Theatre Live continue with “Salomé\,” on Sunday\, September 10\, at 4 p.m.\,  at the Latchis Theatre\, 50 Main St.\, Brattleboro. \nThe story has been told before\, but never like this\, Director Yael Farber’s urgent\, hypnotic production brings this biblical time to new life in a charged retelling. \nFrom her prison beneath the walls of her city\, Nameless recounts what led her to call for the beheading of Iokanaan (John the Baptist) in her youth.  Her story shows how Rome’s suppression of the people and religion of Judea acted as a catalyst in her transformation from subjugated young girl to the woman who came to be known as Salomé. \nThe visually compelling production and beautiful singing throughout\, give all fans a true delight. Singers Yasmin Levy and Lubana Al Quntar are integrated into the play\, with the “staging” often looking like a “live painting.” The movement and choreography are also a key feature of the production with a truly international cast of actors from all over the world. \nThe Sunday Times called it “a beautiful\, mesmerising production. A bold new interpretation.” “Farber proves that she does riveting ritual intensity better than anybody else\,” wrote the Independent. \nRunning time is 2 hours\, 5 minutes with no interval. \nTickets are $20 for general admission\, $10 for students. Contact Sharry Manning for questions and advance credit card purchases at sjmpr@comcast.net or 802-257-5717. \n
