Film

A recently deceased couple (Alec Baldwin & Geena Davis) are forced to haunt their house when they are put on a “waiting” list for heaven. When they realize that they don’t have what it takes to be scary ghosts, they hire an expert – Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a veteran ghost who isn’t as he seems. After the success of his directorial debut, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, director Tim Burton was disheartened by the lack of imagination in all the scripts sent his way until Michael McDowell’s original script for Beetlejuice made it to his desk. The film went on to become a critical and commercial success, winning an Oscar for Best Makeup, and spawning a franchise that included a television series for ABC, several video games, and theme park shows at Universal Studios.

AT ETERNITY’S GATE

In 1999, small town Narrowsburg, NY was poised to become the “Sundance of the East”—or so Jocelyne and Richard Castellano would have local residents believe. The organizers of the Narrowsburg Film Festival—a glamorous French film producer and her mafioso-turned-actor husband—promise to revitalize the town through film. As the duo secures local investment in a feature film production and convinces locals they can become stars, the stage is set for a stranger-than-fiction tale of Hollywood dreams, deceit and delusions. Screening and Q&A with Director, Producer Martha Shane. Run Time: 1 hour 24 minutes.

The rapid rise of emoji (Japanese for "picture character") is a global phenomenon without precedent. Their widespread use and ability to convey complex messages have not only cemented emoji's place as an emerging digital language, but prompted difficult questions about the creation of a language and digital communication's fraught ties to identity and inclusion. In PICTURE CHARACTER, directors Martha Shane and Ian Cheney lead viewers on a deep dive into the ever evolving world of picture characters, from their humble beginnings in Japan to mobile keyboards the world over, and shed fresh light on the private consortium that approves new emoji offerings and the individuals fighting to make the language more representative of its billions of users. Run Time: 81 minutes

Code of the Freaks presents a radical reframing of the use of disabled characters in film. It dares to imagine a cinematic landscape that centers the voices of disabled people. Using hundreds of clips spanning over 100 years of moviemaking, and a cast of disabled artists, scholars and activists, the film is a scorching critique of some of Hollywood’s most beloved characters. This revelatory documentary investigates the power of movie imagery to shape the beliefs and behaviors of the general public toward disabled people, and of disabled people toward themselves. Screening and Q&A with Director, Producer Salome Chasnoff. Run Time: 69 minutes. Recommended for ages 16 & up. English Closed Captions available.
