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.
