Captured magnificently by cinematographer Theodor Sparkuhl, The Ancient Law is an outstanding example of the creativity of Jewish filmmakers in 1920's Germany, and paints a complex portrait of the tension between tradition and modernity.

Film Night: "About Face: Supermodels Than and Now"
Fri, September 13th at 7:30 pm $10 Suggested Donation |
Filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders will present his film, “About Face: Supermodels Then and Now” and respond to questions from the audience.
“About Face” explores beauty and aging through the stories of the original supermodels: women, now between fifty and eighty years old, whose images defined our sense of beauty over the last half-century. Shot in Timothy Greenfield-Sanders' intimate portrait style, participants include Isabella Rossellini, Christie Brinkley, Marisa Berenson, China Machado, Beverly Johnson, Carmen Dell'Orefice, Paulina Porizkova, Jerry Hall, and Christy Turlington among others. They discuss the fashion industry, their careers, aging, plastic surgery, botox, and how they have reassessed and redefined their own sense of beauty as they have aged. Timothy Greenfield Sanders is a long-time Putnam Valley resident whose distinctive films for HBO and PBS are well known. Originally a portrait photographer, he has documented the leading figures of Arts and Culture in a series of widely distributed books and exhibitions. This program will be the third of five films presented by Tompkins Corners in 2019 made possible, in part, through the Putnam Arts Council's Arts Link Grant Program, which is supported with public funds through the NYS Council on the Arts with support from Gov. Cuomo and the NYS Legislature. |
