SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: On the Turtle's Back
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Camilla Townsend discusses the book On the Turtle’s Back: Stories the Lenape Told Their Grandchildren she co-authored with Nicky Kay Michael. The Lenape tribe\, also known as the Delaware Nation\, inhabited the region now comprising eastern Pennsylvania\, New Jersey\, Delaware\, and parts of New York\, Connecticut\, and Maryland for centuries. However\, America’s independence from the British displaced the tribe west to Indiana\, then Missouri\, and finally the territory that became Oklahoma. The Lenape could not carry much from their ancestral homeland\, but they ensured their stories were preserved and passed down through generations.

SUMMARY:Force of Evil
DESCRIPTION:Film screening: “Force of Evil” (1948) is Abraham Polonsky’s searing portrait of corruption and conscience in postwar New York. John Garfield stars as a Wall Street lawyer ensnared in the city’s numbers racket\, torn between moral reckoning and ruthless ambition. Shot on location in Lower Manhattan and the Bronx\, “Force of Evil” portrays New York as both a glittering cathedral of commerce and a shadowed landscape of decay. Blacklisted soon after the film’s release\, Polonsky infused the story with a political urgency and human complexity that feel startlingly contemporary. Paired with George Barnes’s evocative cinematography and the film’s lyrical\, hard-edged dialogue\, it is a modern tragedy of greed\, betrayal and the corrupted promise of the American dream. Following the screening\, film critics Imogen Sara Smith (“In Lonely Places: Film Noir Beyond the City”) and Geoffrey O’Brien (“Hardboiled America: Lurid Paperbacks and the Masters of Noir”) will discuss the film’s artistry and enduring relevance — from its politically charged origins to its influence on later generations of filmmakers who saw noir not only as style\, but as social commentary.

SUMMARY:Noirvember Film: The Breaking Point
DESCRIPTION:Each November\, movie fans celebrate the hallmark antiheroes\, femme fatales\, moral complexities\, and the stunning black & white cinematography of film noir. Free popcorn will be served\, and a discussion will follow each screening. In The Breaking Point (Michael Curtiz\, 1950\, 97 minutes) John Garfield plays Harry Morgan\, a charter boat captain who takes on dangerous cargo\, then faces criminal propositions and playful come-ons\, stretching both his morality and his marriage. Based on Ernest Hemingway’s To Have and Have Not\, Hemingway himself called it the best film adaptation of any of his books and The New York Times said “all of the character\, color and cynicism of Mr. Hemingway’s lean and hungry tale are wrapped up in this realistic picture.”

SUMMARY:The Wrigley Building: The Making of an Icon
DESCRIPTION:Chicago’s tallest skyscraper when it opened in 1921\, the Wrigley Building could be called the Midwest’s Woolworth Building. The gleaming white terra-cotta tower at the head of Michigan Avenue marked a move that opened the northward extension of the commercial concentration of the Loop. To celebrate the publication of the handsome new monograph The Wrigley Building: The Making of an Icon\, the Museum will convene a two-session program that features a presentation by the book’s authors and a symposium of scholars that places the building in context and contrast to the contemporary towers of New York.

SUMMARY:“The Director” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Global bestselling author Daniel Kehlmann’s new book The Director is “powerful and timely” (Jonathan Lemire for MSNBC’S Morning Joe) and “nothing short of brilliant” (Wall Street Journal). G.W. Pabst\, one of cinema’s greatest directors of the 20th century\, was filming in France when the Nazis seized power. To escape the horrors of the new and unrecognizable Germany\, he fled to Hollywood. But now\, under the blinding California sun\, the world-famous director suddenly looks like a nobody. Not even Greta Garbo\, the Hollywood actress whom he made famous\, can help him. When he receives word that his elderly mother is ill\, he finds himself back in his homeland of Austria\, which is now called Ostmark. Pabst\, his wife\, and his young son are suddenly confronted with the barbaric nature of the regime. So\, when Joseph Goebbels—the minister of propaganda in Berlin—sees the potential for using the European film icon for his directorial genius and makes big promises to Pabst and his family\, Pabst must consider Goebbels’s thinly veiled order. While Pabst still believes that he will be able to resist these advances\, that he will not submit to any dictatorship other than art\, he has already taken the first steps into a hopeless entanglement. Kehlmann’s latest oeuvre explores the complicated relationships and distinctions between art and power\, beauty and barbarism\, cog and conspirator; and\, today\, it is “a call to strengthen our spines” (New York Review of Books).
