Fri., Oct 8  at 8:00 pm ET: The Capote Tales - Answered Prayers was meant to be Truman Capote’s greatest masterpiece, an epic portrait of New York’s glittering jet-set society.

Thurs., Oct 7 at 6:30 pm ET: Who Wore What When (and Why)? The History of Fashion - Fashion history. Why is it important, and why should we study it? Because fashion is not an island; it’s a response. It’s a response to what is happening in the world that creates it, so there are reasons why people in the past wore what they did. By taking us on a colorful journey through six historic eras, fashion historian Amanda Hallay will demonstrate how fashion was a direct response to the socio-economic, political, and cultural landscape, and why fashion history is one of the most telling optics through which to study the people of the past. Register: https://onlinexperiences.com/scripts/Server.nxp?LASCmd=AI:4;F:QS!10100&ShowUUID=14240C4C-D84E-4E56-9432-3D5071A6DC0D&AffiliateData=FFUpdate

MFG SCREENINGS

TONIGHT! Fri., Sept 24 at 8:00 pm ET: Jane Eyre - This movie is based on the renowned Charlotte Brontë novel. In the 19th Century-set story, Jane Eyre suddenly flees Thornfield Hall, the vast and isolated estate where she works as a governess for Adèle Varens, a child under the custody of Thornfield’s brooding master, Edward Rochester. The imposing residence – and Rochester’s own imposing nature – have sorely tested her resilience. With nowhere else to go, she is extended a helping hand by clergyman St. John Rivers and his family. As she recuperates in the Rivers’ Moor House and looks back upon the tumultuous events that led to her escape, Jane wonders if the past is ever truly past. Rated PG-13.

 

Thur., Sept 30 at 8:00 pm ET: Falling for Figaro - A brilliant young fund manager leaves her unfulfilling job and long-term boyfriend to chase her lifelong dream of becoming an opera singer. She meets a fellow opera student while in training, and what begins as a rivalry develops into something more. Not rated.
