Winter Is Film Season at East Hampton Library

Fri, 01/12/2024 - 13:51

It is movie season at the East Hampton Library and that means a screening of this summer's blockbuster "Oppenheimer" on Saturday 1 p.m. and the start of the library's Winter International Film Festival on Sunday.

"Oppenheimer," directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Matt Damon, tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American physicist considered the father of the atomic bomb.

The festival, which includes selections from the late-1950s to early-1970s, kicks off on Sunday with "The Seventh Seal," a 1957 Swedish film directed by Ingmar Bergman that takes place during the Crusades at a time when the plague was moving across the land. It will be shown at 2 p.m.

Future films in the series, all on Sundays at 2, include Luis Garcia Berlanga's "The Executioner" (Spain, 1963) on Jan. 21, Federico Fellini's "Roma" (Italy, 1972) on Jan. 28, Werner Herzog's "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" (West Germany, 1974) on Feb. 4, James Ivory's "Bombay Talkie" (United Kingdom, 1970), and Jacques Deray's "Borsalino" (France, 1970) on Feb. 18.

‘Sensitive Areas’ No Longer Safe From ICE Raids?

One of the first executive orders of the new Trump administration rescinded Biden administration policies that forbid Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from conducting raids in “sensitive areas” such as schools and places of worship. With this dramatic policy change, local school officials and religious leaders are banding together in a call to protect the immigrant community.
