FREE FILM SCREENINGS:
In honor of our ongoing exhibition, Slavery: The Great and Foul Stain, we'll be screening two films on our green here at Philipse Manor Hall. The films are free and open to the public! Please contact Brittany Wheeler, Museum Programs Coordinator, with any questions (914-965-4027, x.13, Brittany.Wheeler@oprhp.state.ny.us) or visit our Events Blog: www.philipsemanorhall.blogspot.com.


Thursday, August 7th and 21st, 6-8 p.m.

Intolerance
: Join us for this screening of the silent film gem, Intolerance, shot in 1916--the same year the vaudeville/movie house Proctor's Palace opened on Broadway in Yonkers. Directed by D.W. Griffith, this film was in part a reaction to what some deemed offensive racist content in his previous film, Birth of a Nation. This ambitious film spans thousands of years and cost a fortune to produce, bankrupting the director's studio and leaving him with financial difficulties for years to come.
 
Thursday, August 21st, 6-8 p.m.
Slavery: A Global Investigation: If you missed our human trafficking awareness event, this screening of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning documentary, Slavery: A Global Investigation is another chance to learn about this topic.  Based on the book Disposable People, which exposed modern slavery around the world, this film visits the sites of modern enslavement and speaks to slaves, their families and slaveholders.


Philipse Manor Hall is located at 29 Warburton Avenue, Yonkers, NY 10704, just a short distance from New York City.
