SUMMARY:The Wilton Library Presents Film Screening: “Join or Die”
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Wilton Library at a special screening of Join or Die\, a film about why you should join a club…and why the fate of America depends on it. \nIn this Emmy-nominated feature documentary\, follow the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam\, whose groundbreaking Bowling Alone research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis. The film also discusses the direct impact of social disconnection on mortality rates\, arguing that people living in social isolation die earlier than those with stronger social bonds. Flanked by influential fans and scholars — from Priya Parker\, Pete Buttigieg\, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Jane McAlevey\, and Eddie Glaude Jr. — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country\, Bob explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And\, most importantly… What can we do about it? \nAbout Robert Putnam: \nHarvard professor Robert D. Putnam is America’s preeminent political scientist — and one of the most widely read and cited social scientists living today. Author of fourteen books\, translated into twenty languages\, his work focuses on asking big questions about American society and deploying immense\, creative studies and analyses to unlock answers. \nHis Bowling Alone research — which demonstrated that levels of American community connections were in decline over the past half-century — rocketed Putnam to national fame in the late 1990s\, earning him the moniker “the poet laureate of civil society” and the ear of presidents\, religious leaders\, and tech founders over the coming decades. In 2012\, Putnam received the National Humanities Medal\, the nation’s highest honor for contributions to the humanities. As more Americans turn on to the reality of our social isolation crisis\, a consistent drumbeat of media interest in revisiting Putnam’s work has grown. More information is available at https://joinordiefilm.com/. \nDoors will open at 6:30 p.m\, with the film to begin at 7:00 p.m. The run time is 90 minutes. Movie snacks & refreshments provided. \nRegistration is requested. Please register online or call (203) 762-6334. \nThis program is made possible by the generosity and collaboration of Block Party USA\, Town of Wilton Social Services\, Wilton Library\, Wilton Public Schools\, and Wilton Youth Council.

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Documentary Screening: The Hidden History of Slavery in New York
DESCRIPTION:The Hidden History of Slavery in New York digs deeply into an infamous chapter in our country that hasn’t always made its way into the history books. The film features Bryan Stevenson\, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative\, and explores how the Transatlantic trade of enslaved people was centered in the north\, not the south\, in the 17th and 18th century — with New Amsterdam as its epicenter — and Wall Street as its largest market.

He is a former executive producer at MSNBC and former senior-level producer at the Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. \nSpace is limited and registration is required. The cost to attend is $10 per person for non-members\, free for Wilton Historical Society members.

SUMMARY:Orchestrating Change
DESCRIPTION:Wilton Youth Council and Wilton Library invite you to the screening of the documentary film Orchestrating Change.  The film features beautiful music while being informative\, uplifting\, sometimes humorous and most importantly\, empowering.  Orchestrating Change tells the inspiring story of the only orchestra created by and for people living with mental illness and those who support them. \nRonald Braunstein was on the trajectory to becoming one of the world’s leading conductors until he made his diagnosis of bipolar disorder public and was shunned by the classical music community. He decided to create an orchestra for people like him with the mission of erasing mental health stigma one concert at a time. The film follows Braunstein and several of the musicians for two years\, capturing their setbacks and their accomplishments. The musicians’ stories are told entirely in their own words\, augmented with striking animation. The film culminates in a joyous concert at a major venue. It is a triumph for Braunstein\, who thought he might never conduct again. \nSeen across the United States on public television stations\, the film is the 2021 winner of the Austen Riggs Erikson Prize for Excellence in Mental Health Media. The American Library Association & Media Round Table voted it “One of the Top Twelve 2022 Notable Films for Adults.” \nRegistration is required. Register on the Wilton Library’s website.

SUMMARY:Women in Film
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Women’s History Month at Wilton Library on Wednesday\, March 8 at 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. with a dynamic look at women in film. \nWomen have always been a force in filmmaking\, but often their talents were suppressed by a male dominated industry. Alice Guy-Blanche was a pioneer filmmaker and has paved the way to opening doors over the decades for filmmakers of the silent era like Lois Weber and Chaplin protege Mabel Norman. But until the rise of feminism in the late 60’s\, female filmmakers’ voices were suppressed until there were directors such as Penny Marshall\, Katheryn Bigelow\, Sofia Coppola\, and others. \nGreg Blank\, a Long Island based filmmaker\, film historian\, and lecturer will examine the dynamics of sexism in the film industry\, the challenges women have met and often overcome\, and the artistic achievements of female directors over the years. \nRegistration is required. Register online. For more information\, email Andrea Sato.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Tom Santopietro - The Way We Were: The Making of a Romantic Classic
DESCRIPTION:The Way We Were: a nostalgia drenched\, bittersweet romance starring superstars Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford at the peaks of their careers\, and a story for everyone who was ever loved with passion\, if not wisely. A smash hit around the world whose power echoes to this day—yet a film whose success was so far from assured that one studio executive was heard to exclaim: “Barbra Streisand doesn’t sing\, and she plays a communist—are you trying to kill me?!” But succeed the film did\, propelled by a smash-hit title song and career defining performances from Streisand and Redford. \nNow\, just in time for the 50th anniversary of the film’s release\, best-selling author Tom Santopietro’s latest book\, The Way We Were: The Making of a Romantic Classic\, provides the definitive inside story behind the challenges\, disputes\, and creative passions of those who fought to make this landmark film. Charting the path from screenwriter Arthur Laurents’ initial inspiration to the fervent talk of a possible sequel\, Santopietro mingles reverence and wry humor to decode the mysterious chemistry between Streisand and Redford that created a romance for the ages. It is filled with humorous anecdotes and fascinating first-hand accounts by actors\, film historians\, and members of the creative team. \nRegistration is required. Register online. For more information\, call 203.762.6350 or email the library’s reference librarians.  \nThe media sponsor of Wilton Library’s author talks is GOOD Morning Wilton. \nElm Street Books will be selling copies after the talk. A portion of the proceeds will go to Wilton Library.

SUMMARY:[Wilton Reads] Wilton History Film Screening — Recollections & Remembrances: Stories of Wilton's Yesterdays (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library for a trip down memory lane as we screen the 2002 documentary film about Wilton’s history\, produced on the 200th anniversary of the town’s separation from Norwalk in 1802\, when Wilton was a farm town with one-room schools\, unpaved roads and swimming in the river. \nOral historians interviewed long-time residents\, some with family histories going back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Filmmakers then combined their footage with historical photographs to create this wonderful film. Narrated by David and Maureen Canary with music by Chris and Dave Brubeck\, the film follows Wilton’s path from its early roots through two world wars\, the Depression\, a major hurricane and a flood and into the post-WWII period of growth. We’ll see how Wiltonians worked\, played\, and thrived in a rural farming town that became a major suburban community. \nRegistration is required. To register\, visit the Wilton Library website.

SUMMARY:Chasing Childhood Virtual Screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Wilton Youth Council’s Free Play Matters Task Force presents a virtual screening of Chasing Childhood\, filmed in Wilton! Stream the movie for free anytime from Saturday\, April 17 through Wednesday\, April 21. \nChasing Childhood is a film about the unintended consequences of over-protecting\, over-pressuring\, and over-scheduling kids\, and the impact that has on their ability to thrive both in childhood and as adults. \nThe makers of this movie spent hours in Wilton\, filming in the schools\, on the athletic fields\, and in the homes of residents. Viewers will see familiar scenes from Wilton\, including insightful conversations in our elementary schools. Learn more about how Wilton is leading the way in shifting the culture of childhood and the movement to raise healthy\, resilient children. \n \nChasing Childhood Trailer from NYGrit on Vimeo. \nChasing Childhood was filmed before the pandemic\, but the issues explored are even more profoundly relevant today: what is the changing landscape of contemporary childhood and parenting? What is best for my kid? \nIn today’s childhood\, confined by structure\, stranger danger\, and helicopter parenting\, free-play has virtually disappeared. Experts are ringing the alarm bell about the dramatic rise in anxiety and depression in young children and teens. What if all this well-intended hovering\, fear and over-scheduling has backfired? \nJoin a virtual Q&A with the director and some of the experts and subjects of the film on Thursday\, April 22 at 7 p.m. Q&A panelists include: \n\nEden Wurmfeld\, Director and Producer of Chasing Childhood\nLenore Skenazy\, President and Founder of Let Grow\nDr. Michael Hynes\, Superintendent of Schools\, Port Washington\, NY\nGenevieve Eason\, Executive Director of Wilton Youth Council\nSavannah Eason\, Wilton High School ‘13\n\nThe Q&A will be moderated by Vicki Abeles\, the director and producer of Race to Nowhere and Beyond Measure. \nRegister online. \nSponsored by Wilton Public Schools and Wilton Youth Council.
