A BALLERINA’S TALE
THURS, 12/3, 8:00pm, 85 minutes
DIRECTOR: Nelson George
Q/A with Filmmaker Nelson George
DIRECTOR: Nelson George
PRODUCER: Leslie Norville
EDITOR: Malika Weeden
CINEMATOGRAPHERS: Cliff Charles, Oskar Landi, Nelson George, Malika Weeden, Nicolas Waterman, Jon Dunham
Few dancers make it to the highest levels of classical ballet. Of that small number, only a fraction of them are black women. Misty Copeland succeeded in pulling herself up from the studio company at American Ballet Theater to the corps de ballet and then to soloist. In 2013 she was offered the lead role in Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird to be performed at New York’s Metropolitan Opera House, a major coup for a soloist. While she danced beautifully that night, she performed in great pain. Afterwards she was found to have six fractures in her left shin that required corrective surgery. This film follows the ballerina’s painful road back to dancing.

Nelson George is an author, filmmaker, television producer and critic with a long career in analyzing and presenting the diverse elements of African-American culture. Nelson has been on a roll since 2013 with the following completed documentary projects: VH1 Rock Docs’ Finding the Funk; Showtime’s Brooklyn Boheme; ESPN’s The Announcement; and the short All Hail the Beat, for the Focus Forward campaign.

MODERN TIDE: MIDCENTURY ARCHITECTURE ON LONG ISLAND

SAT, 12/5, 12:15pm, 86 minutes
DIRECTOR: Jake Gorst
Q/A with Director/Producer, Jake Gorst
Much of Long Island’s rich heritage of midcentury modern architecture has disappeared due to redevelopment and natural disaster. Modern Tide: Midcentury Architecture seeks to highlight some of the region’s best work as a way to bring awareness and appreciation for such architectural achievements. The film explores the work of the region’s best postwar architects and designers, including Albert Fey, Frank Lloyd Wright, Marcel Breuer, Andrew Geller, Philip Johnson, Charles Gwathmey and others.

The history of African Americans has not been a straight ascendency from slavery. Change for black people, Stanley Nelson said, happens when black people push for change. The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution tells the story of the rise an fall of the black militant organization from 1966 to 1973 and the times that created them.

Hamptons Happenings: Community: Southampton Urges Residents to Sign-Up Emergency Alerts
Town of Southampton
Press Release
Town Urges Residents to Sign-Up
for Notify Me® Emergency Alerts

Dear Neighbors and Visitors:

As a coastal community, we must prepare for any emergency -whether it is a hurricane, fire, flood, or snow storm. An important priority, Southampton Town is constantly improving its own readiness through planning and hands-on exercises, and by coordinating with county, state, and federal agencies.
Recognizing that preparation is our best defense, we have released a new brochure, Be Prepared. (Available in English & Spanish) Updated, handy, and compact, the pamphlet is designed specifically for Southampton residents, with valuable information such as: important telephone numbers, advice on caring for the elderly and those with special needs, ensuring your pet’s safety, protecting your home or business, and assembling a “go bag” and home emergency kit. Pick up your Be Prepared brochure at the following locations:

Southampton Town Hall
Town Senior Centers
Parks & Recreation Office
Village Halls
Chambers of Commerce
Libraries
Southampton Youth Services (SYS)

In addition, citizens can also register for the new CodeRED notification system. CodeRED is now used by local governments, schools, universities and utilities. The CODE RED emergency notification system is an extremely high speed communication service capable of delivering millions of pre-recorded emergency telephone messages per day to Suffolk County homes and businesses. CODE RED also has high speed email and text messaging capability. Participants may register up to two phone numbers and one email address. Adding your contact information will ensure that you will be included when a message is sent. So if you’re wanting to register your elderly family members to the alert notifications, look into senior ease of use phones, if you were to look here, such phones still exist, then register the given number to CodeRED.

You are encouraged to use these new resources to assist you in keeping you and your family safe. With improved technology and better tracking, we now have the means to obtain advance notification of severe weather events, regional emergencies, and how best to prepare for them. CodeRED-Logo_thumb-2
