IN THE aftermath of Hurricane Matthew people have a lot more important things to worry about than newspaper articles.

But I thought it was important to point out that this week we are republishing some pieces about some important local events that had to be abruptly rescheduled as the storm approached.

The Midnight Garden Ride and the Savannah Greek Festival will indeed happen this coming weekend, despite being rudely bumped off the calendar for a week by Mr. Matthew.

These two events are particularly important to their host organizations.

For the Savannah Bicycle Campaign, the Midnight Garden Ride is by far their biggest fundraiser of the year. It is vital that folks come out this Friday to support this very deserving local advocacy organization.

The congregation of St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox also depends a great deal on the proceeds from the annual Greek Festival.

They are open this Friday and Saturday for your enjoyment.

As the leaves and fallen branches settle from the hurricane, a city pulls itself up from the ground and moves on.

feedback

The often-confusing, even incompetent mismanagement of the pre-storm period will inevitably be forgotten, as these things often are.

People will only remember how quickly the Georgia Power crews got things up and running, and how thorough the City of Savannah cleanup crews have proven to be.

Politicians being politicians, they will take credit for the hard work of others, and the mass confusion among local authorities before the storm will vanish from public memory completely.

The special guests coming from all over the world for the Savannah Film Festival will likely see a Hostess City completely back to normal. Most are unlikely to see any trace of Matthew’s damage.

But that’s the way it goes — and that’s why the people need to stay ever vigilant.

Looking back, if there is one silver lining from the storm, it’s that for a few days our Facebook feeds were filled with something else besides the constant droning drumbeat of hysterical political invective over the presidential election.

As I write this, early voting is in effect all week on Eisenhower Drive, and it cannot come soon enough for me.

You probably feel the same way.

In a few short weeks, the year-long divisive hate-fest in America that is the 2016

presidential campaign will reach some kind of resolution.

As is the case with Hurricane Matthew, we will eventually find a way to remember the good, and sweep the bad under the rug.

It’s no one’s fault — it’s human nature. It is what it is.

In the end what we will remember about Hurricane Matthew is not only how quickly the lights came back on, but the feeling of not taking so much for granted.

We will remember that first hot shower, that first cold beer, that first sigh of relief.

We will remember the Great Storm of ‘16, which will take its place in the annals of Savannah history alongside the monster hurricanes of the 1890s.

Those catastrophic unnamed storms, long gone from living memory, felled nearly every tall tree in Chatham County.

The storm-stricken tree canopy in Savannah you see today was planted in large part due to the apocalyptic damage from the storms of the 19th Century.

Those striplings became the mighty trees you see today, in various degress of distress from Matthew.

But that’s how it goes. From seed to fallen branch, nature — human or otherwise — always wins in the end. cs

Comcast “blows” like Hurricane Matthew

Editor, My wife and I love reading your weekly column in Connect Savannah and certainly last weeks editorial (“Disastrous Leadership”) hit close to home!

We live on Isle of Hope (IOH) and evacuated to family in Marietta the Friday of the storm. We were lucky to avoid the “blood and guts” endured by those brave souls that rode it out!

Upon returning to Savannah on Wednesday, we were “greeted” by 3 fallen trees (2 in back yard and 1 in front). Insurance had already been alerted as was our handyman for repairs to all our fences.

Luckily no damage was done to our house and GA power was stellar in restoring power ASAP, as was AT&T with line phone and Internet/DSL. But Jim ...

PLEASE let our community

know that the “Cust Serv” and responsiveness NOT shown by COMCAST is a blow to all our residents ... especially our neighbors on Raleigh Drive and all of Isle of Hope.

The total ignorance and disavowal of major infrastructure problems by a big billion-dollar company simply blows my mind!

Their brainless and insulting “VoiceJail” system is an insult to customers’ intelligence!

I agree with ALL your comments in the editorial but think an addendum has been “earned”

by Comcast as the utterly WORST and most UNRESPONSIVE cable TC service in the world! We are currently watching old “Cheers” episodes thanks to Apple TV and AT&T ingenuity ... Where the F _CK is Comcast?! They are the WORST of the WORST).

John

Leadership lacking during Hurricane Matthew

Editor, Regarding your column “Disastrous Leaderhip”: Couldn’t agree with you more on the lack of leadership from Georgia in general and Chatham County specifically.

My wife and I have been transplants to Savannah from Wisconsin. Trust me when I say that the Wisconsin media know what they speak of.

The Georgia people however seemed to disappear from the daily updates we saw while sitting in Buckhead. We had a motel reserved until Sunday and began making our way back to Skidaway Island Sunday morning.

You can imagine our surprise when we were stopped at the border and told that there was an arbitrary 5:00 pm green light to get into Chatham County. All we wanted to do was return to our

house to see what kind of damage was done.

I can tell you that we will NOT BE LEAVING THE NEXT TIME THERE IS A VOLUNTARY OR MANDATORY EVACUATION order.

Mike

Roadblocks ‘oppressive’

Editor, Thanks for your recent column “Disastrous Leadership” — it needed to be done. I think the only other points are CEMA leadership, I believe, are appointed. Not sure by who, but accountability there for sure.

Finally, the roadblocks were oppressive. There was no reason to prevent rentry... and it punished those who actually did obey the evac order (and provide motivation not to next time) Kevin

AS THE warnings built, and the storm approached last week, my expectation was that the storm would somehow pass us by, as every other hurricane had since I moved here 10 years ago, from Washington, DC. The people on the Weather Channel talked doom and gloom, but they always do. They always find a way to get Jim Cantore out in high winds and stinging rain, showing us not only how bad it is “out there” but, of course, how tough he is. With my condo on the third floor of my building, flooding was not a concern.

First Matthew went through Haiti, leaving tremendous destruction and loss of life behind. That was not unexpected, except for the scale of the loss of life due to the abject poverty and substandard living conditions there. The pictures came in, and they were not dissimilar to what always occurs when a hurricane hits an impoverished area of the developing world.

Homes destroyed, massive flooding, and widespread loss of life, requiring a massive response in aid from other countries.

Matthew continued on through the Bahamas, and on the Wednesday when that was occurring, I went to my local Kroger, on Abercorn across from Savannah Mall, and found it busier than I had ever seen it in all my years shopping there.

Staples like bread, water, milk, and eggs were in short supply or already gone.

People shopped with looks of concern and worry on their faces.

S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley had already announced a mandatory evacuation from all coastal areas, and a similar order was expected here. Having no family in the area, and with most of my friends already planning to leave, I had no plan of my own.

If I left, how far inland would I have to drive to be safe? How hard would it be to find a motel that would take in my cat and I? How would my cat act all that time in the car? She gets very unhappy in just the five-mile drive to the vet.

All of these concerns ultimately led me to decide to stay and ride it out.

Looking around the parking lot of my condo development Thursday morning, I was a bit surprised to see how many cars were still here. It looked like I would have plenty of company if I stayed, and that proved to be the case.

Watching the Weather Channel constantly, they kept showing the storm track,

and talking about all the destruction coming to Florida.

Some of my Facebook friends who live on the East coast of Florida had been posting regularly about their preparations, and most of them were staying put as well.

Fortunately they all survived without any major damage to their homes and selves.

As the day wore on, I kept considering leaving, and kept talking myself out of it.

I had a reasonable amount of food that did not require refrigeration or preparation, like cookies, chips, and donuts, and plenty of ice to keep the beer cold if/when the power went out, fresh batteries in my flashlights and radio, candles and matches.

My bathtub was full of water, as was every other available container I had, so I considered myself as ready as I could be.

I wondered if I should tape my windows, so I googled that, and found out it was not recommended.

Friday morning arrived, and Matthew was heading to Daytona Beach and Jacksonville, having already passed Palm Beach and other areas of SE Florida.

The Weather Channel got a Coast Guard officer on the phone, and when he said, “No, we haven’t had to rescue anyone. We haven’t even gotten any calls,” they immediately cut him off and went looking for some destruction and high winds.

They quickly found some in Daytona, with a classic hurricane cliché. A gas station pump canopy torn off and flapping in the breeze, with an excited reporter giving the account.

Looking forward to watching the Nationals-Dodgers playoff game kept me focused through the afternoon, and I was grateful to still have power when the game started. Unfortunately, our power went out in the 4th inning I went to get my radio, and was happy to find a station broadcasting the game, so I sat in my recliner, listening to the game, and listening to the wind outside, though it was still not so bad that I had to close all my windows. Listening to the game into the 8th inning, suddenly the station went quiet, having lost their power or having their transmitter knocked out.

I then put some beers in a cooler, made sure all my windows were closed, and went down to the ground floor to see if any of my neighbors were around. I found two from the second floor and two from the first floor, on the edge of the breezeway, watching the trees and bushes blow around.

continued from previous page

I offered everyone a beer, but they all had plenty of their own, so we sat there, watched, drank, and talked until about 11 p.m., when the wind and rain got so strong we all went back to our units to hunker down.

Getting a small signal on my phone, I was able to find out that the Nationals had lost to the Dodgers, 4-3. I sat on my bed for a while, with candles lit, watching the trees and bushes whip around, and listen to the wind howl.

Sleep finally came around 1 a.m., but it was fitful. Waking up every couple of hours, gratefully looking outside to see that my car had not been crushed, and that all the trees were still standing.

When the sun creeped over the horizon Saturday morning, the rain was still coming down, but not sideways, and the wind was abating. I went downstairs to find my neighbors clustered around a first floor unit where two of my neighbors had stayed. They had a small generator, with sufficient power to run a coffee maker, and recharge all our phones.

Assessing the damage, we fully realized how lucky we had been, with all the buildings intact, no windows blown out in our building, and none of our cars or trucks damaged. Finding a local radio station on, I listened to stories of the night before

One of the many poignant scenes following the storm. Photo by Carolyn m. dimmick

from around the area, and learned even more how fortunate we had been, with reports of numerous large trees uprooted and blocking roads all over the area and the Windsor Forest neighborhood, something I saw firsthand in a drive around the neighborhood on Sunday.

Water and donuts for breakfast tasted great, and I was able to text my siblings, in St. Louis, Buffalo, and DC that I was OK.

My neighbors and I hung out and swapped stories most of the day Saturday, and one of them had a box of MRE’s that he shared with all of us, though I chose to pass, for no special reason, except that I had eaten a ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich earlier that afternoon, keeping that in a cooler as well.

One of the neighbors gave me a couple of candles she didn’t like, as mine were just

about gone. I went to bed Saturday night with some windows open and sirens howling in the distance, a post-storm lullaby.

Sunday morning I felt the need for a shower, so I let the water out of the tub, and showered by candlelight, which proved not to be as romantic as it sounds. My neighbors were gathered around the generator, and we talked some more about our good fortune. One of them had driven around and said that there were downed trees all over the neighborhood, but she had not seen any down on the property.

I drove around a little myself, out to Abercorn, around the mall, where a staging area for utility trucks had been set up, around to Rio Rd., and back home, where I found several utility trucks working on getting our power back on. I came back to my unit, and let my neighbors know that a crew was working just outside our gate. A bit before noon on Sunday, the power came back on, just in time for me to set my lineups on my fantasy football teams.

Living through a hurricane was never on my bucket list, and I’m still not entirely sure that staying was the right thing to do, considering the scope of the damage and destruction in the area, something I have never seen before in my life, anyplace I have lived, but it was quite an adventure. cs

The Ivory Game

Every year SCAD strives to bring to the Savannah Film Festival the most notable and exciting films to the Savannah Film Festival and 2016 is no exception. We at the festival programming team worked tirelessly to construct one of the most diverse, entertaining and enlightening programs to date for its savvy, film loving audience.

New to the festival this year is the Global Shorts Forum, an impressive lineup of 49 narrative and doc shorts from around the world that speak to the issues affecting us as a global community.

The shorts are arranged in blocks focusing on issues like immigration and the realities of the refugee crisis, racism, poverty and prejudice, LGBTQ stories, the effects of war, and current events such as gun control, the environment and more.

The blocks screen at the SCAD Museum of Art and are FREE and open to the public, though a ticket is needed for each block.

Kicking off the festival for the third year in a row, the renowned Docs to Watch series curated by the Hollywood Reporter’s

Gleason

Scott Feinberg, brings 10 Oscar worthy feature documentaries and their directors to Savannah, culminating in the Docs to Watch panel discussion on Sunday at 6pm at the Lucas Theatre.

Included in the lineup is The Ivory Game, a heartbreaking look at the illegal poaching trade threatening to wipe out African Elephants within the next 15 years, and those devoted to stopping that from happening at all costs; Gleason about former New Orleans Saints former safety and his struggle with ALS; The First Monday in May, an intriguing look into the creation of the annual Met Gala and the discussion of whether fashion constitutes as art, and Life, Animated about a young autistic man named Owen who finds a way to communicate through the power of Disney films.

Off the Rails

OCT 19-25, 2016

Gala screenings are always hot ticket sellouts and the sure fire Oscar darling Jackie, directed by Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larrain and featuring Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy, opens the festival. Both women possess a mysterious and private air that makes Portman a natural fit for exploring the inner workings of a First Lady reeling from personal loss in the midst of such a public grief.

Another sure fire crowd pleaser features Savannah Film Festival’s beloved Miles Teller in Bleed for This, playing real life boxing champion Vinnie Pazienza, who after making a comeback, is hit in a headon collision and spends 6 months in a halo, attempting to heal enough to return to the ring.

Along with Aaron Eckhart as Paz’s trainer Kevin Rooney, Teller delivers an unflinching performance that will have audiences glued to their seats, including the real Vinnie Paz who joins as a special guest of the festival.

Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight, featuring House of Cards star Mahershala Ali, Janelle Monae and newcomer Trevante Rhodes, and Jeff Nichols’ Loving, starring Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga as interracial couple Richard and Mildred Loving finish off the festival with subtle and moving stories of love and the struggle to be true to that love.

Moonlight tells the deeply intimate story of Chiron from childhood to adolescence to adulthood in three distinct, nuanced performances that create a sublime film experience showcasing the struggle of growing up as a black man in America, through a beautiful and unique lens that defies convention. Along with Loving, it is not to be missed.

Though the experience of struggling with cancer sadly offers an unending well of tear-jerking, gut wrenching stories year 16 after year, finding the nuances of telling

personal experiences. Shannon will be attendance, receiving a Spotlight award from the festival for her role as Joanne, a mother dying from the dreaded disease.

La La Land, Paterson, Arrival, Christine, Manchester By the Sea, American Pastoral,

Trolls 3D, Lion, Trespass Against Us, I, Daniel Blake, Toni Erdman, and 20th Century Women round out the Gala and Signature screenings offered.

Other notable and not to be missed screenings include Demian Bichir’s directorial debut Refugio, starring Bichir in the titular role along with Eva Longoria and Stefanie Sherk as a troubled exotic dancer that Refugio falls for and is determined to save from her current life. Bichir will be in attendance for a post-show Q&A. Also in attendance will be rising UK star Sam Claflin with his summer tearjerker Me Before You along with producer Alison Owen, discussing the film after the screening.

Two unique and not to be missed films in the lineup are the new Studio Ghibli release The Red Turtle, dubbed “a wordless masterpiece” that had everyone talking in Toronto, and The Eagle Huntress, about the 13 year old Mongolian girl who overturns centuries of male dominated tradition to become the first female eagle hunter in her community. Both films are part of the Educational Series the festival offers to area schools to attend at no cost.

The competition features and documentaries offer independent films from all over, including Amy Jo Johnson’s delightful The Space Between, about a man who discovers he’s not the father he thought he was.

Definitely add Happy: A Small Film with a Big Smile to the list of must-see docs. The film showcases Augusta, Georgia visual artist Leonard “Porkchop” Zimmerman’s heartfelt story of overcoming grief from the loss of his life partner through art, and the unexpected “HAPPY” Campaign that evolved from it. Student, Animation and SuperShort! shorts also round out the exciting and diverse competition.

#Savff 2016 spotlight WHILE IT might be tempting to some to make snarky jokes about her previous role as Kimberly Ann Hart, the iconic Pink Power Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the truth is that Amy Jo Johnson has quietly amassed an impressive body of screen and film work in the meantime.

A key supporting role as Julie in Felicity and a memorable star turn in the Disney flick Susie Q was followed by a move to Canada away from the Hollywood limelight to start a family.

In Toronto, she secured an acclaimed regular role in the hit Canadian cop series Flashpoint from 2008-2012.

A musician in addition to an actress and director, Johnson has released three wellreceived pop albums.

In between, she has steadily increased her presence as a filmmaker, and that is her role when she comes down to Savannah to screen her first feature-length film, the comedy The Space Between, a surprise hit on the festival circuit this year.

We spoke to Amy Jo last week.

Usually at film festivals, the big audience hits are either depressing message movies, or feel-good comedies. Safe to say The Space Between is the latter?

I’d say this film falls between the two topics. What I try to deal with as a filmmaker is finding the levity within the heavy subjects in life. We have to figure out how to laugh all the way through things. I like to describe this as a heartfelt comedy.

And yet, this isn’t a woman’s story — it’s about the deeply personal odyssey of a man approaching middle age.

Pink Power Ranger no more

The Space Between is talented actress/director’s first full-length feature by jim morekis jim@connectsavannah.com

This isn’t the first time you’ve directed yourself on screen, but it is your first feature film. Where do you get notes on your acting if you’re the director too?

Luckily I don’t have a huge role in The Space Between. Some days I got to show up to work without going to hair and makeup, and those were my favorite days! I’m currently working on my second feature film – and I’m not going to be in it!

Some days, when I did have to act, I just relied on the cast I surrounded myself with. I went to work fully organized, and

Amy Jo Johnson:

When I first started writing it, the main focus wasn’t the coming of age of a 40 year old man, which is basically what it turned out to be. I had done a short film called Bent, the first short I ever did, and in that I found the kernel of a seed for this film.

He’s dealing with his own fertility issues, and his wife decides to save the marriage by sleeping with a busboy at work. The father discovers his redheaded baby is not his. The film deals with his reaction to that.

every day we knew exactly what needed to be done.

To get it all shot within 17 days we had to be really organized. I don’t think I thought too much about it. We just did what we had to do.

That said, as actor I’ve always felt incredibly insecure as a person. When I transitioned into filmmaking I began to feel a lot more confident in what I have to do and what I have to give.

I think there are so many great roles now, partially because there’s so much great television now, and so many channels.

Back in the day you had movie stars, but today there isn’t much difference. There’s certainly no difference anymore in the caliber of acting between movies and TV. I’m just the type of person who doesn’t look at what the obstacles are. I don’t think that way. I just do what I want to do and what my heart wants to do, and I get really scrappy about it! (laughs) Some things did change for the better when I moved my life to Canada. I didn’t have to worry about turning 35!

I got out of LA and was able to grow old gracefully. In LA there is so much pressure for women to alter their appearance to appear unnaturally younger.

That said, you haven’t run away from your past as the Pink Power Ranger.

In the mid ‘90s, there were a few years there when I wasn’t so much denying I was ever on the show, but I was not really wanting to talk about it either. After moving to Canada and doing Flashpoint, somewhere along the way I said, “This is my path. This is where I came from.”

The big change came when I embraced social media, and starting doing Indiegogo to raise funding for movie projects.

I realized all the support I had through people who knew the Power Rangers over the last 20 years before that. In embracing them, I’ve met so many wonderful people I wouldn’t have met otherwise.

And now there’s going to be a big new Power Rangers movie next year, so the whole thing’s cool again! (laughs) Your music career is sort of on hiatus?

Yeah it is. I’m getting focused on this second feature. I’ve not sat down at piano or picked up a guitar in a while. My last album was in 2013, and I did that knowing it would be a while before I did another album. I wanted to do that one album before I really ventured into filmmaking.

The Space Between screens Mon. Oct. 24 at 11:30 a.m. and Oct. 27 at 4:30 p.m. at the Trustees Theatre. Amy Jo Johnson will attend the Monday screening for a Q&A.

Indivisible: Human stories at heart of immigration debate by jim morekis

jim@connectsavannah.com

THE documentary Indivisible explores the stories of three “Dreamers,” young undocumented immigrants who seek a path to citizenship and education.

Not completely part of either the U.S. nor of their home countries which in many cases they barely remember, they have been let down time and again by the failure of various efforts at immigration reform.

We spoke to director/producer Hilary Linder, who will attend the weekend screening.

This doesn’t even mention Trump! We finished shooting before Trump was the nominee. We did all the shooting and editing, and it all happened to be done in time for this election.

It’s a complex issue, with lots of different notions and opinions. But at the heart of it are 11 million people. We hope you’ll spend 78 minutes learning about three of them.

The film doesn’t throw politics in your face. People are fed up with divisive politicized debate over immigration reform, but we aren’t hearing the human stories at the heart of the debate. We wanted to make a film about something everyone could relate to, and that’s families.

All the subjects of your documentary are specifically from the Latino diaspora, as opposed to Asian, African, or other immigrants.

Yes, all three main subjects are Latino, one each from Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.

The immigration debate is of course much broader than that. I was hoping I could show a bit more diversity, but the scenes you see about immigration do touch every nation in the world really.

Tell us about the people in the film.

The young people in the film were all brought to the U.S. as young children by their parents, without their own authorization. They’ve all grown up in America undocumented.

We enter their lives at the same point, where the yearning to see their mothers again is extremely strong. For better or worse you always have the desire to see

The film follows three young immigrants in their quest ot reunite with their families.

your family.

We started making this film when Congress was first introducing a major immigration reform bill. It would have been a potential chance for these people to reunite with their parents.

Everyone was very optimistic the bill would pass, but a few months into filming we realized it wouldn’t go anywhere.

So in the film we see all three apply for travel waivers so they can leave and legally return. It’s an amazing journey they all go on, but essentially the film ends where it begins, with no permanent solutions. They are still in limbo.

saving every penny she made from age 13 on. She could afford to pay for one full year at UMass Boston. She’s going to get that degree, but it will literally have taken her a decade.

Ironically, as many Americans seem to be sort of giving up on “The American Dream,” these immigrants seem to hold out hope for it.

Yes, especially those “Dreamers,” the undocumented youth stuck in limbo. It’s sort of oddly refreshing to hear from them.

Many of them don’t even find out they are undocumented until they are teenagers. Many can’t even remember anything There are a lot of people who aren’t necessarily bigots who still have a hard about the country they came from.

They’re American in every sense of the time understanding why non-citizens should have access to the very competi- word except that piece of paper. Why condemn these young people to a life without tive entry system for U.S. universities citizenship and without education? and colleges.

They love America, they love what it Education is a huge theme of the docustands for, they know the countries they mentary. Most parents who came to the came from don’t have jobs for them.

That’s where we see the children coming But it’s very difficult to afford college from Central America. That’s a big source if you’re undocumented.

That prompted their decision to tapping into all this aid, like they’re on leave. They said “How can we raise these welfare or something. It’s just not true.

One young lady in the film started precious girls in this kind of country?”

In the meantime we have welcomed them into our economy! We depend on those skilled workers throughout the U.S. From what you’ve learned making the film, is Latino interest in this election overhyped by the media?

No! They are so tuned in. Their future depends on this. Immigrants, undocumented and otherwise, are all very closely dialed into this election.

You’ve got one candidate proposing deporting 11 million people. And another on saying she will bring comprehensive immigration reform in her first 100 days, or will at least try to.

Say what you will about George W. Bush, but he always saw Latinos as a natural Republican constituency and wanted that party to appeal more to Latinos. Republicans have obviously gone in a different direction since then.

George W. Bush really fought hard for comprehensive immigration reform. And remember the last major immigration reform was actually under Reagan. He provided a pathway to citizenship for millions of people.

Immigration is actually not something that traditionally Republicans have been against. It’s sad how it’s been politicized. cs Indivisible screens 12:30 p.m. Wed. Oct. 26 and 3 p.m. Sat. Oct. 29 at the Trustees Theatre.

NEW LOOKS FOR FALL 10% OFF WITH THIS AD

jim@connectsavannah.com

SHOT on location in New Orleans, Refugio is a sexy love story between a hot-blooded young man and an exotic dancer.

Interested? I thought so. Let’s proceed: The first directorial feature from crossover Mexican star Demian Bichir, nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award for A Better Life, this film also stars Eva Longoria and Bichir’s real-life partner Stefanie Sherk.

We spoke to Stefanie last week.

Tell us about this movie.

It’s about a very different, very unique young man who is one of these people who just shoots for the stars in trying to find ultimate love. He just never gives up.

I play a dancer named Day. She’s one of these girls who has lost her way. She wanted to be a professional dancer, but ended up a stripper. That’s sort of her place to shine.

She meets Demian’s character and he helps her believe in herself again.

You are in this film with Eva Longoria.

Yes, Jose (Jose Angel Bichir, Demian’s nephew) plays another version of Demian’s character. In those scenes his love interest is played by Eva Longoria. She’s more experienced than he is and that sort of sets the stage for what’s to come.

People on a movie set don’t always work together because of how the scenes are filmed. Did you get much time on set with Eva?

OCT 19-25, 2016

We didn’t have any scenes together, but she’s been friends with Demian for a long time, and we became friends too. She is just the most impressive and positive strong woman. She’s one of these people who is always looking to help those around her. She stays very busy! She was nice enough to invite me on her show Telenovela. She’s an incredible woman and I can only aspire to how amazing she is.

So here’s the big question: You and Demian are partners in real life as well. How in the world does that work?

He’s literally your boss as director, he’s your love interest in the film, and your love interest off set.

Stefanie Sherk

We knew how to navigate, and separate the two lives. I did pretty well considering the pressure I put on myself to do a job worth of the role. I’m grateful to be able to work with such amazing people, so I can’t take anything personally. I knew this was happening several years ago, so I had time to prepare. The biggest stress was the pressure I put on myself to do the best possible

job.

He said from the beginning that, “I will not make this movie without her in this role.” He is a man of integrity, which is more than you can say for a lot of people in L.A. He said from the beginning that I would be perfect in this role, and he stuck to it.

Scene from Refugio

Other than the pressure you put on yourself, what were the most challenging things about this particular role and script for you?

Kay goes through a lot of emotional stages that are very cathartic. Of course the biggest thing to deal with was having to play an exotic dancer. There’s nowhere to hide anything!

How do you really prepare for that?

The thing is, in LA that’s a really trendy workout class. You don’t have to go far to find one.

I did spend a week training with a professional pole dancer. She actually competes at it, she’s in amazing shape! I worked with her and learned the main two

routines in the film over the course of a week.

My most nervous moment making the movie was that first shoot of a dancing scene. There was no nudity in it, but I was really trembling.

Tell us the truth: Did you do a couple of shots before doing that scene to loosen up?

No, it’s a pretty complicated routine with lots of really athletic moves. I don’t think that would have worked out very well!

OCT 19-25, 2016

by jessica leigh lebos

Oct. 20 with The White Party at the Jepson Center for the Arts, where guests clad in “the purest of colors” can take in fine art, get down to the lovely sounds of the Christy Alan Band and strike a pose in the photo booth filled with fabulous props courtesy of Georgia Walters.

The evening also hosts a fashion show of chic androgyne swimwear from Outplay— perhaps you’ll find yourself a little something for the pool party at the Andaz Hotel on Sunday, Oct. 23. Tickets to the White Party are $25; a $50 VIP pass includes admission to Saturday’s festival with unlimited wine and beer.

Friday evening brings more sophistication with a free happy hour salon at the

Andaz, where funds will be raised for the future Savannah LGBT Center. Even with the many queer organizations around town, there is currently no dedicated safe space for Stand Out Youth, PFLAG and many other local LGBT support groups to meet. Savannah’s First City Network, Georgia’s oldest LGBT organization, has spearheaded the effort to annex a downtown spot, though funds must be raised to get the doors open.

“The LGBT center is our designated beneficiary this year,” says Drake.

“It is absolutely something we need in this community.”

Saturday’s all-day, all-ages extravaganza in the park is scheduled to go as planned in spite of last week’s weather chaos (like a little hurricane debris could stop the music, honey.) Vendors, dancing, face painting and games for the kidlets are on the bill, culminating in the early evening show of headliner Billy Gilman, the former child star who made us all swoon with his cover of Adele’s “When We Were Young” on The Voice a few weeks ago. (He chose Adam Levine as his coach, ICYMI.) “We contracted with him before The Voice episode aired, and after it did, our ticket sales really took off,” laughs Drake.

“He’s definitely part of that equation.”

Also keeping the mood convivial is former Pulse nightclub DJ Scott Robert as well as our sassy local drag personalities, though Hill assures that it’s all G-rated.

“We’re different from a lot of other Prides because we’re family oriented,” he promises, adding that Pride around here isn’t just a gay thing.

“We celebrate the diversity of Savannah, this eclectic city where people can be exactly who they are. We wrap our arms around everyone.”

As far as the politics of Pride go and the future of LGBTQ normalcy, Hill believes that progress will eventually win out—perhaps due to the new generation of activists demanding their equal rights and standing up to those who would deny them.

“These kids don’t take prisoners,” he marvels in reference to gay millenials and allies who will not abide any bullying or bigotry.

“The ‘powers that be’ that are trying to hold them back, those reins are gone. They need to just let it go.” cs

LET’S GET this out of the hedul sc way: The Midnight Garden Ride isn’t actually at midnight. So rest easy.

That said, the Midnight Garden Ride, a nighttime police-escorted cycling trip through Savannah’s most picturesque areas, is one of our most unique and fun annual events.

It’s also the number-one fundraiser for one of Savannah’s most effective nonprofits, the Savannah Bicycle Campaign (SBC).

“The Midnight Garden Ride means everything to us,” says SBC Chairperson Caila Brown frankly. “As our biggest fundraiser of the year, it supports our efforts to make Savannah better through and for bicycles.”

In part due to its importance, SBC rescheduled the Ride in the wake of Hurricane Matthew. If you’re already registered, no worries — just show up.

“Now that the streets are being cleared, we hope everyone will come out to celebrate our city,” says John Bennett, executive director of the SBC. “We hope the return of this event, which has become a fall tradition for so many people, will be especially meaningful this year. Its a signal that the recovery is moving along and the things we love about Savannah will go on.”

This year the Midnight Ride is taking things to the next level, with start/finish at Grayson Stadium instead of downtown as in all previous years.

There’s a full afterparty and concert featuring Savannah’s own Britt Scott — voted “Best Local Singer/Songwriter” in our Best of Savannah Reader’s Poll —along with other local musical guests.

The difference-maker this year? You guessed it: The Savannah Bananas.

“With the help of the Savannah Bananas we’ve really been able to expand the event,” says Brown. “The Bananas are helping out with volunteers, so our volunteers won’t be as taxed. We’ve added some kid’s activities, we’re having a bike cube, and we’re hoping the costume contest will be a little expanded and people will be inspired to dress in their Bananas best.”

The Bananas are setting up their full concessions, with beer, soda, and food available for purchase.

Aside from the Bananas, the change of location itself has some bonuses.

“Being at Grayson will have a bunch of 28 benefits,” says Brown. “There’s plenty of h u r ri

c

parking available, in a safe environment. A lot of people come to the Ride from outside Savannah, so they need a place to park, and then get on their bikes.”

The change of location allows a more targeted effort in a more practical environment – not to mention a chance to revisit the route of the 8.5 mile bicycle ride.

“We’ve sort of flipped the route. Previously we had been going from downtown through Daffin Park and looped and come back. Now we’re starting in Daffin, heading downtown, and looping back to Grayson Stadium,” Brown says.

Brown stresses that the Ride is intended to be fun, not a competition.

“This is a great way for people new to cycling in Savannah to get used to riding around the city. It’s a safe way to get introduced to routes within the area,” she says.

“And for those who don’t ride at all, it’s a way to draw attention to the fact that the work the Savannah Bicycle Campaign does helps make the roads safer for all users.” cs

Any guidance for those who fear a fascist takeover of the United States and think they may need to get out in a hurry? What countries will accept political refugees from the U.S. on short notice? What’s the easiest way to get your money out of the country in advance? Are there people who will arrange to ship one’s art collection overseas, no questions asked? —Albert Ettinger I’M happy to note, Al, that the odds of a fascist takeover look somewhat slimmer than they did when your question arrived a few weeks back. Even so, one has to deal with the tension somehow as this debilitating campaign enters its final stretch: for some, that may mean constantly re-refreshing poll-tracking sites; for others, evidently, it means packing the bags and setting ’em by the door. The bad news for blue-state types ready to scram on November 9 is that things will have to get really scary before any old American citizen can pass as a political refugee. The good news? That leaves more time to plan your exciting new life abroad and find a safe harbor for you and your money. Well, most of your money.

A refugee, you see, has to persuade some kindly foreign government that she has, per UN convention, a “well-founded fear” of persecution because of “race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.” The election of an unqualified bully as chief exec won’t in itself do the trick, and even

if President Trump concluded his inaugural address with a declaration of martial law, you’d still have to demonstrate you’re a likely target of government oppression.

Finding yourself on a national database of Muslim Americans might not even be enough until federal goons actually start rounding up the registrants.

Where to flee to? If you’re concerned about Trump, I can’t imagine you’re a big Putin fan, so following Edward Snowden to Russia is probably a no-go. Closer to home, Canada’s liberal refugee policy doesn’t mean they’ve been overly sympathetic to putatively oppressed Americans. A black American, Kyle Canty, who’d argued he was endangered by racially motivated police violence in the U.S. lost his Canadian asylum bid in January. But you never know. In 2014 Canadian immigration officials ruled that a Florida court’s 30-year prison sentence for having sex with a 16-year-old boy was excessive and let U.S. citizen Denise Harvey stay up north.

Assuming a long, slow slide into totalitarian hell for the U.S. rather than a sudden putsch, consider less urgent forms of emigration. Line up employment in Canada beforehand, for instance—they’re much more welcoming to foreigners seeking a work visa than we are, and if you’ve got the right skills (plus enough cash savings to ensure that you won’t beeline onto the dole) they might open their doors even before you score a job offer. Then again, if you’ve really got some extra bucks in the bank, invest in a business overseas—most countries just love deep-pocketed foreign entrepreneurs.

Staying in your new nation is potentially trickier than getting in—one pink slip and it could be back to the U.S. with you, freeloader. If you plan on marrying into citizenship, choose your destination wisely: wedding your Saskatchewanian sweetie, for instance, doesn’t put you on the fast track to becoming a naturalized Canadian. Most European nations are more accommodating to foreign-born spouses, though, and if you tie the knot with an

obliging Brazilian, full citizenship can be yours within a year. Some countries might grant you citizenship based on descent: the Law of Return permits Jews to relocate in Israel, and if one of your grandparents was born in Ireland there’s a process for repatriation to the auld sod.

With enough assets at your disposal, even if you’re on the lam, you don’t have to live like a refugee. But you may find foreign banks increasingly more reluctant to take your cash—following the passage of a 2010 U.S. law demanding stricter reporting on the financial doings of Americans living abroad, many overseas institutions have decided we aren’t worth the effort. If you’re the particularly suspicious sort, you could get more creative—buy a foreign gold certificate, or dive into the murky world of Bitcoin.

As for your art collection—for a displaced person, Al, you certainly are a high roller<>some governments will indeed demand a sizable chunk of its value. Sweden might otherwise be a dream relocation site, but you’d have to cough up a 25 percent value-added tax. Certainly there are shady professionals who can assist, but immigration officials prefer their admittees with clean hands, and a smuggling racket is a good way to make a bad (read: extraditable) first impression.

Though we hear the same talk about moving to Canada or Europe every four years, evidence suggests few Americans actually skedaddle after the wrong candidate gets elected. This year the big difference is that the people most likely endangered by a Trump victory are the ones who really want to stick around. It’d be cruelly ironic if the subjects of mass deportation were to find a mess of American expats waiting for them in Mexico.

news & Opinion News of the weird Extreme Hobbies

John Weigel and Olaf Danielson are engaged in a frenzied battle of “extreme birdwatching,” each hoping to close out 2016 as the new North American champ of the American Birding Association, and a September Smithsonian piece had Weigel ahead, 763 to 759. Danielson is perhaps better known for doing much of his birding in the nude (and is the author of the provocatively titled volume, “Boobies, Peckers and Tits”— all common names of popular birds). The old one-year record was 749, and the association attributes the larger numbers this year to El Nino, which has disrupted food supplies and driven birds into different locations.

Fine Points of the Law

• Compelling Explanation: Senate bill 1342, passed in the Idaho legislature earlier in 2016, authorizes schools to use the Bible as a reference in classrooms (despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s having specifically condemned a previous version of the bill ever since 1964). The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Sage Dixon, said he thought his law was nonetheless constitutional because, “The little Supreme Court in my head says this is OK.” (Even so, Gov. C.L. Otter vetoed the bill.)

• Nebraska voters in November will be asked whether to keep the state’s longstanding death penalty for murder— even though retaining it will require them to vote “repeal.” The legislature replaced death row last year with mandatory life sentences, and the referendum is to “repeal” or “retain” that legislation. Hence, to abolish the death penalty, voters must select “retain.” The state attorney general, and election officials, declined to challenge the confusing arrangement, instead suggesting that Nebraskans are smart enough to figure the whole thing out.

• The Arizona legislature passed a child-molestation law recently that made any adult contact with children’s genitals a criminal act, but unlike in other states’ similar laws, neglected to include a requirement that the outlawed contact be for “sexual” purposes. Consequently, in principle, parents may be criminally liable, for example, for bathing a baby or changing

its diaper. The Arizona Supreme Court ruled in September that it is up to the legislature to change the law, but some lawmakers professed indifference, confident that district attorneys will use good judgment about whom to prosecute.

• While other vehicle safety-control engineers work on actually slowing down cars and buses when a risk is detected on the road ahead, one of Volvo’s recent innovations appears aimed merely at bullying pedestrians to get out of the way.

In 2014, British entrepreneur Azad Chaiwala, 33, created the matchmaking service Second Wife— because, just as men have trouble finding that special person, some Mormons, Muslims and others have at least as much trouble finding that special additional person. (Most clients, he said, are in the United States and the United Kingdom, though bigamy is illegal in both places.) The service was so successful that Chaiwala this year inaugurated Polygamy.com, which he adamantly defended as a moral alternative to adultery and one-night-stand services such as Tinder.

Clinton, wielding a knife, escaped momentarily, but the occupant summoned his nearby roommates— the visiting University of Arizona men’s cross-country team— and after a chase, which included jumping several barriers, the runners steered a severely winded Clinton into the arms of a state trooper. (2) Kerry Johnson, 52, was arrested in August in Charleston, West Virginia, and charged with robbing a City National Bank branch. Police said Johnson had been gambling at the Mardi Gras Casino in nearby Nitro when he ran out of money at the blackjack table. (He left a $25 chip to preserve his spot, excused himself, went to the bank, and came back with more money.)

People With Issues

Based on recent convictions for indecent exposure, Anthony Hardison, 50, has a public masturbation habit, and it is apparently so bad that he engaged once again in August— while he was in the lobby of the sheriff’s office in Seattle, where he had reported to register as a sex offender.

He was arrested.

(2) In September, an unnamed woman was detained at the airport in Graz, Austria, because her suitcase held two plastic containers with her late husband’s intestines. She had come from Morocco seeking doctors’ opinions whether he had been poisoned (but doctors told local media they would have to examine the entire body to determine that). Police said no laws had been broken.

Between Symmetries find their groove on Silhouettes New album pays tribute to Savannah venues by anna chandler

anna@connectsavannah.com

Listening to the masterful dynamics of Between Symmetries’ Silhouettes, one might be surprised to learn the Savannahbased band’s only been around for a year and a half. In that brief time, the quartet of young musicians has honed a fresh, tight sound that’s blowing up through the Southeast and beyond.

Music was always in the cards for guitarist/vocalist Adam Jenkins. Growing up in Savannah, Jenkins’ grandfather was in seminal funk/soul band Tradewinds, and his grandmother sang in the church choir. Camoflauge, the young Hitch Village rapper who was gunned down outside a recording studio on his rise to fame, was close with Jenkins’ brother and often hung out at their childhood home. Surrounded in diverse influences, Jenkins was

first introduced to guitar while attending Emanuel Baptist Church.

“I was the only black kid there,” he laughs, “so I remember they had a new youth pastor, and she had a son, maybe five years older than me, who played guitar. I asked my mom, ‘What’s that?’ She said, ‘That’s a guitar. You want to learn to play?’”

Soon, Jenkins was performing in the church’s band and learned power chords and rock arrangements at home.

“We were playing ‘Highway to Hell’ in church before they sang hymns,” he remembers. “So many people were like, ‘You’re gonna go to hell!’ We didn’t even care, it was so much fun.”

Jenkins always knew he wanted to be a musician or a professional athlete. As his high school basketball career progressed and colleges scouted him, the sports path became clearer. Those aspirations were quickly halted when he tore his ACL.

“I remember, was at my best friend’s house laying on the couch wondering, ‘What am I gonna do?’ he says. “Everybody says they have a moment of realization— and I never believed in that when I heard about it—but I did after that. I just had that moment—I asked, ‘What am I supposed to do?’ and I swear I heard a voice: ‘You know what you’re supposed to do.’ In that moment, I knew it was music. From then on—I was 20—I worked, I got the money to buy an amp, bought my dream guitar.

It took me two years to get it, but it was so worth it. Got pedals, and found all my band people through Craigslist and parties.”

Jenkins, drummer Michael Britt, guitarist Daniel Sheehan, and bassist Jack Nave forged an indie-emo sound with raw edges and shoegaze haze—and it took off.

“I’ve only been playing music seriously for a year and a half,” says Jenkins. “I’m learning a lot.”

The band has hit it hard the DIY way,

continued from previous page

releasing a debut EP, “Movetur,” last year.

In the wee hours of the morning, Jenkins sent emails to websites and magazines to spread the word. His efforts paid off: the revered tastemakers at CMJ (College Media Journal) premiered the little Georgia band’s EP, praising the band’s Midwest college rock vibes, wide melodies, and slow builds of “yearning, dramatic, arena emo.”

Later on, New Noise Magazine and Substream Magazine would become Between Symmetries supporters, teasing new songs and offering premieres.

“It was all on blind faith,” Jenkins says.

“I think we figured out some of the tricks of becoming a bit more well-known early on. Those connections don’t usually come until three, four years in. I just compiled a list of emails and faces and sent out emails all day, every day.”

Jenkins admits he didn’t imagine the sheer amount of work being in a band requires when he first got into the game, but he feels the reward is worth it—even when he’s working three jobs and pushing his band’s product.

Though they’re gaining notoriety throughout the U.S., Between Symmetries’ latest will be particularly special to Savannahians. What initially began as an EP unfurled into Silhouettes, a full-length

t h e

album with each song named after a Savannah music venue.

“Sitting down, it made sense to do something bigger than ourselves,” says Jenkins.

“The best music I’ve listened to had a story behind it. Rage Against the Machine was always political. Green Day was ‘fuck the system.’”

Even just months after it was recorded, the album feels like a timepiece—most of the DIY venues immortalized on the record are defunct. In fact, The Jinx and The Wormhole are the only spots mentioned that still actively have shows.

“I was looking around, and everything was shutting down,” Jenkins recalls. “I was helping book bands all around town and in a matter of a week I had nowhere to book anybody. I wondered, could we do something that brings some sort of attention to what we have going on here and immortalize these places even if they’re never around again?”

Lyrically, the album explores “life, shitty jobs, and relationships,” but listeners will hear each venue’s influence in the album’s arrangements. “‘The Bomb Shelter’ has this math rock tapping type thing,” Jenkins explains, referring to a track named after a beloved, now-defunct house venue. “‘The Jinx’ is super-heavy, because they have metal

“We were playing ‘Highway to Hell’ in church before they sang hymns,” he remembers. “So many people were like, ‘You’re gonna go to hell!’ We didn’t even care, it was so much fun.” bands. ‘Hang Fire’ is more pop-rock. It came together, and it wasn’t even on purpose. It was a cool concept, and I sat down and talked to a lot of people about it, and everyone was for it.”

Between Symmetries’ former drummer did most of the songwriting for their last album; for Silhouettes, Jenkins took the helm.

“The band told me to write everything and they’d put their parts around it,” he says. “It came out to be this weird, shoegaze-y type of vibe. We used to have breakdowns and discord…now it’s a lot more honest.”

The writing process has been a transformative experience for Jenkins.

“When we play the last song on the record, ‘Sweet Mels,’ I don’t think I’ve ever played a song that emotional. It’s a tough

The Georgia Flood @Congress Street Social Club

You’ll hear The Peach State all over The Georgia Flood’s sound. Brothers Brooks Mason and Lane Kelly got their start playing rock ‘n’ roll and blues music, and those influences show through their rootsy sound with a certain Southern air.

The kids have been playing since they were 7 and 10 years old; their first gigs were in biker clubs and dive bars, where they played songs inspired by Derek Trucks, The White Stripes, and classics like Jimi Hendrix. Over the years, their sound has grown into a mature, harmonious, toughed-out, soulful brand of melodic rock ‘n ‘roll.

Most recently, the band paid tribute to beloved Southerners Alabama Shakes with a cover of “Hold On”—give it a spin on Spotify in anticipation of their Social Club show.

Spook it up with your hometown burlesque troupe this weekend.

Riffing on the concept of television series 1,000 Ways to Die, The Savannah Sweet Tease Burlesque Revue offers up a goofy string of unfortunate events as portrayed by Magnolia Minxxx, Lady Von Luft, Jack N ThaCox, Rita D’LaVane, Rebel Belle, and Butt Reynolds. The gang gets creative with their grim demises: performers succumb to evil dentists, poison ivy, un-charmed snakes, over-exercise, and more.

Special guest Ada Manzhart comes to town to join in the wicked fun, while Granny Glitter Gams and Skippy Spiral keep the laughs coming as the show’s emcees. To round out the evening, Jinx favorites Everymen will rock out ‘til the bar closes with their unforgettably raucous show.

Saturday, October 22, doors at 9 p.m., show at 10 p.m., $10 general admission, $15 VIP, 21+

Savannah Voice Festival Goodwill Concert @Christ Church Episcopal

BEST ISLANDS BAR!

In light of Hurricane Matthew, The Savannah Voice Festival’s Maria Zouves and Sherrill Milnes have created a unique program for Savannah’s citizens to enjoy for free.

While their calendar originally held an Autumn VOICES fundraiser for Thursday, Zouves felt the community could use encouragement, hope, and unity in the aftermath of the storm.

The vocal music organization invites neighbors to set down their chainsaws and rakes momentarily to enjoy an evening of beautiful, uplifting music. The concert will be followed by a reception with cookies and punch.

Thursday, October 20, 6 p.m., free, all-ages

Land, Labor, and Port

Textile symposium reveals hidden history of Savannah

by RACHAEL fLORA

rachael@connectsavannah.com

OCT 19-25, 2016

THIS WEEKEND, the Textile Society of America, Inc. hosts its biannual symposium on all things fibers at the Hyatt Regency. “Crosscurrents: Land, Labor and the Port” has the potential to start an important conversation about textile production and development in Savannah.

“I think we have such specific potential for textile development,” says Nathan Saludez, special projects director at Art Rise Savannah.

“There are very few small textile mills in the country, particularly in the South.

Here you have access to the cotton being grown and this is a major world port so I think there’s opportunity for production, development and manufacturing textiles.

Getting people here first [is key]—they have to have that introduction to the city first, but you know everyone who comes here falls in love with it.”

The symposium plays a crucial part in getting people to Savannah—the TSA has members around the world, and the symposium attracts about 500 people.

Three SCAD professors—Susan Falls, Jessica Smith, and Liz Sargent—are also members of TSA and convinced the association to bring the symposium to Savannah because of its historical relationship with textiles.

“We have such a rich history with cotton,” Saludez explains, “so the title of this symposium, ‘Land, Labor and the Port,’ show how these things have affected textiles and how the textiles affect the city as well. It’s not limited specifically to Savannah. It’s a conversation—you know a little bit about someone else, bring up your own things.”

This year’s event is unique because for the first time, a series of exhibitions accompanies the symposium. Seven local galleries will host exhibitions free and open to the public, unlike the symposium, which is only open to TSA members.

The exhibitions are eclectic in topic, from shibori to quilting to digital hand weavings, and were all juried.

“The point of exhibitions is to start a conversation,” Saludez says. “The quilt exhibition I’m 42 working on “Between” is more

traditional applied art, but these artists take it into a whole other place of fine art. I think that some of the shows are challenging in a really great way.”

Falls, Smith and Sargent approached Art Rise for help with the event because, as Saludez explains, taking on the project with only three people can be overwhelming.

“The SCAD professors were coordinating these shows, but they had eight exhibitions—now it’s seven—and having three people to do that many exhibitions is quite impossible,” he says. “They needed help coordinating the gallery spaces, and TSA is also a nonprofit with limited funds to make this happen.”

The diversity of the exhibitions speaks to the nature of textiles and fibers as an artistic medium.

“There’s the potential for functionality or to be fine art with no practical function,” Saludez notes. “You can take it in any direction; it’s a very expansive medium.”

The galleries themselves are diverse as well—Non-Fiction Gallery and the City of Savannah’s Cultural Arts Gallery host exhibitions, but so do non-traditional spaces like the Kaufman Gallery, a home on Acton Court. “Indigo and Beyond” at the Cultural Arts Gallery will remain up for the rest of the month, but most of the exhibitions will be uninstalled by Monday.

The event at the Hyatt is only open to Textile Society members, but several local galleries will There’s also an artist talk planned for “Between: Layering Context and Percep- host accompanying exhibits free and open to the public. tion in Patchwork” at Jelinek Creative Spaces on October 19. Curator Molly Evans Fox will introduce the artists’ work and discuss how they were chosen, and artist Sonja Dahl will discuss her practice. This event is notable because it’s the only artist talk of the weekend free and open to the public.

Saludez notes the community’s hand in pulling off the weekend, and the range of people involved speaks volumes of the broadness of textiles as a medium.

“The community has really come through and supported this,” he says.

“What’s funny is when we had the call for volunteers we were expecting maybe ten people to come to the meeting, and we had 30. People that aren’t specifically affiliated with SCAD or other arts organizations, and a whole mix of students, older people, mid of people that have some sort of interesting aspect in textiles. So we went around the room and talked about what we did and everyone had such a diverse background.” cs For more info go to textilesocietyofamerica.org/ tsa_symposium/symposium2016/

Pop Up Shop at Trustees Garden features cutting edge design, family fun by jim morekis

jim@connectsavannah.com

OCT 19-25, 2016

ONE of Savannah’s most vital sites will host one of its most unique events, the Pop Up Shop at Trustees Garden from Oct. 21-29.

Located in one of the most historic areas of Savannah, back to the very earliest days of Oglethorpe’s founding of Georgia, the Pop Up Shop features fashion and family-friendly fun, concurrently with the Savannah Film Festival also going on downtown.

“We’ll have many independent designers, from New York City and Savannah,” says designer Rosalie Stone Morris, who is spearheading the show, which she describes as a “mini-festival.”

In addition to her own Stone Morris line, local designers include Mamie Ruth, M. Liz, Lovelane Designs, and Morris’s partner in organizing the show, Abbie Hastings.

Wares on display comprise mostly women’s clothing, as you might imagine, but will also include a men’s collection, and accessories like scarves and handbags, “lots of fun little knick knacks,” says Morris. “We’re even going to have sets of handcarved wooden glasses.”

The show will reside mostly under a tent in the mall area adjacent to the Morris Center and the Pirate’s House. Fashion is

44

just one of the offerings.

On Thursday night, there will be a tasting out in the garden area, with menu by Meta Adler and proceeds benefiting Historic Savannah Foundation. “The menu is inspired by the history of Trustees Garden,” says Morris. “The things originally planted there were vital to the sustainability of the colony.”

Most afternoons will feature yoga from Dancing Dogs.

“We’ll have lots of trunk shows throughout the run,” adds Morris. “The last night we’re doing a big Halloween Party for kids.”

From 3-6 p.m. Oct. 29, there will be a closing party with a Halloween –themed trunk show from Lovelane Designs — and a costume contest.

Though she frequently visits her native Savannah, Morris works out of New York City. She says the game has changed from the days when a small elite controlled the fashion world.

“There are so many independent designers now. They get their cues from Asia, from all across the board.

It seems like everything goes now,” she says. cs For full schedule go to shoptrustees.com

A multitude of designers and hand-crafted fashion and accessories await you at the weeklong special event in the historic Trustees Garden area.

Jonathan Rabb’s Living journey

Historical novel explores Southern Jewish diaspora

by Orlando Montoya

savannahpodcast.com

“It was a fractured community,” Rabb says of the strict Reform-ConservativeOrthodox split of Savannah Jews then.

“Plus, it allowed me to have a little bit of Romeo and Juliet.”

It just wouldn’t be a good book if Yitzak fell in love with the “right type” of Jew. But to him, the distinctions were meaningless.

The SS didn’t care what kind of Jew you were.

Yitzak’s American love is threatened when his Czech betrothed, assumed dead, is found in Virginia. The way he writes, Rabb really makes you think, “What would I do?”

“He has a choice between the promise of a real future with this young American woman or the safety of a shared despair with this woman from the camp,” Rabb says.

And despair is always lurking beneath the surface in Among the Living. It comes up unexpectedly in vivid death camp flashbacks, just like it does… among the living.

This is the first time in a while that Rabb has tackled a subject where the history is

still alive, although less each day. His previous books were set in Germany decades earlier.

He remembers his own cousin and their parents, who miraculously survived the camps. And that’s why he says that this book felt personal to him.

“It’s taken me a long time to write a book like this,” he says, even though it’s his shortest work. “I wanted to create a character that has some hope coming out of [the Holocaust].”

And hope is sometimes hard to imagine.

But we always must imagine it because spiders are spinning every day.

Look for the book’s connections to water.

Look for how the word “kindness” evolves in it. Look for historic Savannah cameos.

Look for it in local bookstores. cs

Jonathan Rabb Book Signing 12-2 p.m. this Saturday The Book Lady, 6 E. Liberty St.

OCT 19-25, 2016

I PICTURE history as an enormous and intricate spider’s web. Its sticky strands come down from everywhere in our pasts and catch us in a world of complex twists and turns.

You might compare a historical novelist, then, to a person who would place a fly right in the middle of that web. But that might assume that events turn out badly for the fly.

I’m not going to give away the ending of Jonathan Rabb’s new book. But I will say that the fly in it escapes, several times, in moving and unexpected ways.

Among the Living, the historical novelist’s sixth book, is a thought-provoking tale about Southern Jews, the Holocaust, Jim Crow, otherness, acceptance and other big themes.

But it’s really a gripping story about one man, a death camp survivor, as he discovers his path through sweeping changes in

his own life and in the world around him.

“I’ve never understood in my books when people say, ‘You have so many twists and turns,’” Rabb says. “Come and live my life with my two kids, my wife, my teaching schedule and so forth, for two weeks, and you will see just as many twists and turns.”

Rabb’s movements aren’t as epic. But the SCAD writing professor has changed his life a time or two, something that’s informed his work. The biggest change was moving South.

Growing up in a Jewish household in New Jersey, Rabb often heard about Southern Jews. They practiced the same religion. But they were just a little different.

“To discover Jews who assert themselves as Southerners first… this astounded me,” he says. “But it makes perfect sense once you get to know the community here.”

The book’s protagonist, a Czech writer named Yitzak, comes to 1947 Savannah also to be astounded.

Blacks are treated like dirt. And Jews don’t get along with each other.

Jonathan Rabb will be at a book signing this weekend at The Book Lady.

Aftermatthew: The Greek Festival is on!

Rescheduled event happens this Friday and Saturday at the Hellenic Center by jim morekis

ONE of Savannah’s favorite hedul sc annual events is the Greek Festival, put on each year by the congregation of St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox Church.

The vast majority of those who enjoy the Savannah Greek Festival year after year go for one or both of these reasons: • The Food. Ranging from baked chicken to gyros to dolmades to baklava, the fare at the Greek Festival is a bounty of tasty Mediterranean delights.

• The Culture. Besides the food, folks come for the Greek music, the Greek dancing, the overall festive and upbeat mood, and the sheer love of life.

There’s certainly nothing wrong with those reasons, and if that’s why you go, no one will argue.

However, at the core of the Festival is the effort of a church, and the inarguable fact that the Eastern Orthodox faith is inextricably entwined with the story of the modern Greek people.

“It takes an entire church to make this happen. People come out of the woodwork to help in their own ways . The whole event touches on old-time culture, and a community of everyone getting together to put on the Festival,” says Laura Little Sherman.

With no family roots in Greece, Sherman is among the growing number of converts to the Eastern Orthodox faith. While Savannah’s Greek population is still sizeable, the number of Greek congregants at St. Paul’s is dwindling as the older generation — personified by the beloved yia-yias, or grandmothers —passes on.

In their place come recent immigrants from traditionally Eastern Orthodox countries like Russia, Serbia, and Romania.

And converts like Laura and her husband Brad Sherman, who have no cultural or family ties to the religion but were attracted to it for a variety of reasons. click to enlarge “We both grew up Protestant. When I first met an Orthodox priest, I’d never heard about the Eastern Orthodox Church before. It’s still hidden from most of the world,” says Laura.

“History is written by the victors,” jokes Brad.

“The internationalism of the church is awesome,” says Laura. “We’ve got Romanians, Russians, Ukrainians —they come from all over. We all converge and it’s 46 really beautiful.” h u r ri

These file shots show some of the delicious, made from scratch pastries you can enjoy at the Festival.

The couple converted in 2007 after a spiritual search many families will recognize.

“When we decided to start another family, we wanted to know people who knew Christ and what really happened then, translated on down into the modern world.

That’s the Orthodox Church.”

The ancient liturgies of the Orthodox

Church are based on the very first Christian ceremonies, so old that in many cases they date to a time before Christians even identified as such. With the fall of Rome, the Byzantine Empire centered in Greece kept Christianity alive – the reason the Orthodox faith is centered in Greece, Russia, and Eastern Europe today.

“When you read Russian literature,

you’re actually reading about the Orthodox Church,” says Brad. “When I first read Russian literature in school, I had no idea what I was reading.”

The parish priest of St. Paul’s is Father Vasile Mihai, an amiable native of Romania who is the first non-Greek in the position in the century-plus history of the Savannah congregation.

“Father Vasile literally knows which of Christ’s apostles he can trace the lineage of his ordainment to,” says Laura. “I think that’s pretty amazing.”

In addition to the food and fun, if you’re so inclined you can take tours of the church sanctuary, across Anderson Street from the Hellenic Center, where the actual Festival takes place.

While Laura and Brad go to St. Paul’s for reasons of faith, they—like everyone who comes to the Greek Festival — have become enamored of the Greek culture and people who are still the heart and soul of St. Paul’s.

“We love their passion, we love their joy in family —and we love the yia-yias!” says Laura. cs

A-Squad

Artisanal bakery makes the most high-demand sweet treats in town

LOVING WHAT you do is the key to longlasting and enriching success. I believe people too often neglect what they love, for what they think they should do.

Everyone’s situation is different, but if you want to truly shine at something, love is the main ingredient. It’s not easy believing in yourself and taking a chance on something, knowing you might fail; especially if it’s something you love.

But, taking the chance and failing is better than never trying at all. It’s is imperative to have people around you who want to see you succeed, and people for you to look up to, while trying to go after something that is important to you.

As that very community has developed here in Savannah, locals have truly banded together in an effort to support all of the young entrepreneurs as well as artists and enthusiasts of all kinds, in every way possible. That blueprint is one that will allow us to see tremendous growth in our local economy, and the culture that we are creating being locals in our neighborhoods.

For example, imagine if we all source our produce from Davis Produce or from the Forsyth Farmers Market. Supporting those farmers allows them to have more resources and capital to expand from within, giving them the opportunity to provide their services at a slightly cheaper rate.

We would probably be able to have farmers markets every day of the week, all over town where you could find whatever your heart so desired. Economies and communities like this exist, they just take a lot of commitment from the locals, and the mental paradigm shift required in seeing the importance of this type of awareness.

So the other day I bounced over to one of the largest and most well-known and decorated local companies, PERC Coffee, to enjoy a cup of something a little more elevated than what I had at home. While there, I stumbled upon a clear glass display case on the counter, containing what

doughnuts, we agreed to meet up and chat over coffee.

Natasha Gaskill, head chef at A-Squad Bakery as well as the pastry chef at Smith Brothers, is one of the most down-to-earth, talented chefs I’ve met here in Savannah. I got chance to sit down with her one on one and speak to her about how she gained her inspiration to bake, and how that translated into the creativity that she brings to our city today.

Originally from Bellingham, Washington, Natasha found herself her in Savannah as her and her family transitioned here for working opportunities, and the vibrations ended up sticking. As she began to settle in, she worked as the pastry chef at Lulu’s, which seemed to be the most natural shift as she studied in the culinary program and at Savannah Tech, taking as many baking course as she possibly could.

While working at Lulu’s, she was afforded the opportunity to share space with a few nationally renowned wedding cake designers, which is what added much fuel to her passion for creation and baking. Taking advantage of the opportunity to learn from such great talent, she began watching, learning, and absorbing as much as she could, adding skills and tools that she would later learn to master.

Natasha grew up loving baking, so as her life transitioned more and more in that direction, she began to lean in.

“We converted our liveable shed in our yard, into a commercial kitchen for me to bake out of,” Natasha explained. “And after a few setbacks involving zoning, we were able to make it happen, which has allowed

“It feels amazing to have people love what you do. And this collaborative local economy that is being built here allows everyone to reach their highest potential,” Natasha said.

I couldn’t agree more about that. Savannah has this thing about it, and if you have an idea, and the motivation to work as hard as you can to get it, our community will support and help you reach the things you strive for.

This is a new thing to our city, and I believe as more and more young, diverse, creative individuals continue to see the potential in our city, the larger foundation of support to our intentions and passions to shine through. Let’s keep chasing our dreams and stirring that pot, people. cs

After making the decision to follow what she loved, she stepped down at Lulu’s as the pastry chef and made another shift to being the pastry chef at Smith Bros Butcher Shop, where she makes treats for them and as of recently PERC Coffee; more specifically than just treats, doughnuts.

SINCE 2001  BREWING COFFEE & COMMUNITY

Post-Matthew craft beer roll call LIKE THE rest of us the local craft beer breweries, businesses and restaurants were shoring up to weather the storm or preparing their sites ahead of an evacuation. All of us hoped for the best but prepared for the worst.

Fortunately for most of the local craft beer scene all was well after Matthew blew through. I spoke with several of owners of the local spots about the storm and how they fared.

Southbound Brewing’s co-owner Carly Wiggins tells me, “Luckily we didn’t have any issues that affected the brewery directly. Many of the employees had some damage done to their homes, but nothing that can’t be fixed eventually.”

Owner Kevin Ryan was pleased with the way the Service Brewing held up in the store.

“The brewery weathered the storm without any damage or significant loss of power! We did not lose any beer, but the Hurricane has put us way behind on Lincoln’s Gift. Bluffton Oyster Company was not able to begin harvesting until the first of October this year, one month late. And then the storm has kept them out of the water for at least a week. We were targeting a November fifth release, but that isn’t possible at this time.”

Coastal Empire fared almost as well with only minor damage according to coowner Chris Haborak.

“All in all we fared pretty well. No physical damage to the brewery. We had some water come into the tap room area from

on the road, and a lot of businesses that do not have power, that it is best to reduce the night time traffic and keep people and drivers off the roads. They are most likely less alert than they would normally be. I know it sucks for local businesses that have already lost money from the storm, but public safety is more important in my opinion.”

Green Truck was closed for several days following the storm but was able to celebrate reopening on the date of their Sixth Anniversary. They did change their scheduled based on the curfew. They announced an 8:30 p.m. closing time but did change to a later opening after the curfew was lifted on Wednesday.

The storm in one way or another affected local craft beer businesses. Take some time and spend a little money at one or more of these locations. Your money and patronage will be appreciated and supports the local beer community and all their employees.

the roof but it was easily removed and created no damage. Biggest issue was we were without power for several days but it was restored in time so that we did not lose any product.”

Some of the local craft restaurants fared better than others. Ben’s Neighborhood Grill and Tap was able to open right after the storm. The menu was limited but they were able to serve up hot meals the Saturday of the storm.

All of the craft beer bottle shops, White Whale, Hops and Barely and Habersham were able to open within a few days of the storm, hindered more by a lack of electricity that any damage.

The curfew that was enforced after Hurricane Matthew was perceived by many as a hindrance to local businesses, especially bars and restaurants that cater to late evenings. Most of the businesses I spoke with did not see the situation that way and some were pleased that the curfew was enacted.

Wiggins tells me “as a business it doesn’t affect us too much. Our hours of public operation are done before that. We have had to adjust our brewing/packaging schedules but we are making it work. The production team works in shifts. First shift generally starts at 6 am and last shift ends around midnight sometimes later.

Personally, I don’t mind the curfew given that many out there still don’t have power and some are being taken advantage of by looters. Unfortunately, we’ve had some neighbors that have been affected by this.

It makes me feel safer to know the police are out enforcing this to help protect our homes and businesses.”

Ryan’s comments are very similar. “I think it is in everyone’s best interest.

There is so much debris, so many dangers

Ben Affleck is cooking the books and shooting crooks in The Accountant

THE ACCOUNTANT

// Smart movies tend to offer intriguing setups, unique central characters, and tantalizing plot pirouettes. By those standards, The Accountant is a smart movie.

But smart movies also tend to avoid offering obvious patterns, imbecilic narrative coincidences, and imploding third acts.

Unfortunately, The Accountant isn’t that smart.

Ben Affleck, the strong and silent type when it comes to performances, scores again in this vein as Chris Wolff, who as a child had a supporting if abusive father (Robert C. Trevelier) who wasn’t about to let his son’s autism stand in the way of a productive life. As an adult, Chris has directed his abilities as a math savant into a career as an accountant, for both ordinary citizens and vast criminal enterprises.

Because of his pop’s tough love, Chris is as skilled at combat as he is at the numbers game, proficient with his hands and with all manner of firearms. These qualities come into play once he accepts a seemingly ordinary assignment of looking into the books at a robotics company headed by a humanistic scientist (John Lithgow) and his sister (Jean Smart).

After he uncovers some discrepancies in the ledgers, people start getting bumped off, and it appears that an innocent accounting clerk (Anna Kendrick) might be next. Meanwhile, Chris’ criminal activities are being investigated by two Treasury Department agents (J.K. Simmons and Cynthia Addai-Robinson), and just who is the mysterious assassin (Jon Bernthal) who keeps lurking in the shadows?

Clearly, The Accountant isn’t lacking for plot, and for a good while, director Gavin O’Connor and writer Bill Dubuque keep the picture percolating with a heady mix of detailed character analysis and swift

action sequences.

But even at an early point, there are suggestions that the movie will climax in the most daft and predictable manner possible, and our prayers that such a dunderheaded ending be avoided fall on deaf ears, with the denouement every bit as awful as feared.

Indeed, the entirety of the concluding chapter is unsatisfactory — jokey, rushed, and tonally wrong. Too bad.

After last week’s The Girl on the Train, the multiplexes could have used a sharp and taut thriller that’s consistent from first frame to last. But while The Accountant is certainly preferable to that tepid murdermystery, it jumps the tracks right at the very moment it should be picking up speed.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION

/// Now as always, it’s important to separate the artist from the art, although in the case of Nate Parker and his motion picture The Birth of a Nation, that’s often difficult to do. In 1994’s Bullets Over Broadway, a scandal-plagued Woody Allen has one of his characters declare that “An artist creates his own moral universe.”

Great movie, ludicrous and self-serving line. And now, Parker and co-scripter Jean Celestin, both at the center of controversy for the college rape of a girl who then suffered from depression and committed suicide years later (Parker was acquitted while Celestin was initially convicted before being acquitted as well), has made sure to include the scene where Nat Turner offers forgiveness and baptism to a white man seeking to atone for all his past sins.

“I forgive you” is the message to the man from Turner. “I forgive myself” is Parker’s message to himself.

The Birth of a Nation is problematic in other ways, as well. It tells the story of Turner from his childhood to his

execution, and it details how this man (played as an adult by Parker himself) who initially was rented out by his owner (Armie Hammer) to quote from the Scriptures in an effort to assuage unruly slaves later found Biblical words to support his growing belief that the atrocities being committed against blacks needed to be stopped by any means necessary.

Historical record asserts that his decision to lead an uprising stemmed wholly from his belief that it was a mandate from God, yet in the movie, it’s turned into a Death Wish scenario, with Turner largely motivated by the rape and beating suffered by his wife Cherry (a fine turn by Aja Naomi King) at the hands of white crackers.

Employing a non-documented rape for this purpose is, at best, queasy and tonedeaf and, at worst, heinous and insensitive.

And while the picture shows Turner’s army slaughtering scores of white men and even some women, it’s careful not to show any children getting murdered, even though several were. It’s an understandable omission, but also a misleading one.

And yet, to deny the power and importance of The Birth of a Nation as its own entity would be equally misleading.

While not in the same class as the excellent, Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave, this picture nevertheless has plenty of merit, starting with a title that brilliantly recalls the one for D.W. Griffith’s 1915 racist opus and throws it back in its face.

It’s a film that’s about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the groin area, and yet its righteous anger helps rather than hinders the piece, particularly in the ghastly sequences in which Turner stands by helplessly as enormous evils are committed against his fellow sufferers (the “dental” scene is almost unwatchable).

Production values are topnotch, with the camerawork by Elliot Davis

continued from previous page

particularly worthy of praise: Displaying remarkable range, the d.p. traffics in dark, dour shots that suit the material but then also tosses in some sequences of notable beauty and grace.

Most crucially, though, this is a movie for the here and now, a document that nicely supports the BlackLivesMatter movement. Once the rebellion is quelled and whites start slaughtering blacks by the dozens (even ones who had nothing to do with the uprising), Cherry cries, “They’re killing people everywhere, for no reason but being black” — a chilling line in an era in which black males are being systematically gunned down at an alarming rate.

Nate Parker may be a vile and unrepentant abuser, but whatever one thinks of the messenger, the delivered movie is worthy of attention. Now, whether you want to support his career through ticket sales is entirely up to you.

THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN

// The herrings in The Girl on the Train might be the usual shade of robust red, but the film itself is largely a bloodless affair, not so much a whodunit as a wellobviouslythatpersondunit.

Based on the smash bestseller by Paula Hawkins, the film version finds Emily Blunt delivering a strong performance as Rachel, an unrepentant alcoholic who continues to harass her ex-husband Tom (Justin Theroux) and his wife Anna (Rebecca Ferguson).

Tom and Anna live in the same neighborhood as another couple, Megan (Haley Bennett, currently co-starring in The Magnificent Seven) and Scott (Luke Evans) -- Rachel rides the train that passes alongside their property on a daily basis, thus allowing her to catch glimpses of their life as she whizzes by.

She imagines Megan and Scott as the perfect happily-ever-after couple, and thus she’s shocked when she spots Megan making out with someone else on the balcony; this event is soon followed by Megan’s disappearance, and Rachel takes it upon herself to find out what’s going on. It’s perhaps an unwise move, since her involvement has the detective (Allison Janney) on the case tagging her as a leading suspect.

I haven’t read Hawkins’ novel, although my wife informs me that one of its biggest failings is that the identity of the villain is ridiculously easy to figure out. In that case, the movie is a faithful adaptation, since the celluloid counterpart is head-smackingly obvious from an early point.

Honestly, even the culprits in those Encyclopedia Brown children’s books were harder to suss out. Couple this lack of mystery and suspense with a plethora of thinly defined characters and the result is a story that probably should have remained on the printed page.

MASTERMINDS

// Nobody would ever mistake Masterminds for a good movie — it’s sloppy, it’s cartoonish, and it takes an incredible and unbelievable true-life tale and needlessly gilds the lily, piling on extra absurdities to the point that any given film in, say, the Shrek or A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise looks like an exercise in cinema verité by comparison.

But Masterminds is a comedy first and foremost, and it would be criminal to deny the huge laughs strewn throughout, sneakily exploding like depth charges at random intervals.

The movie is based on the 1997 Loomis Fargo robbery that took place here in Charlotte, and scripters Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer and Emily Spivey refused to change the names to protect the stupid.

Zach Galifianakis plays David Ghantt, a Loomis Fargo employee who’s convinced by former co-worker Kelly Campbell (Kristen Wiig) and her sleazy associate Steve Chambers (Owen Wilson) that it would be a good idea to swipe $17 million from the company vaults. A flight to Mexico, a tenacious cop (Leslie Jones), and a wisecracking hit man (Jason Sudeikis) eventually figure in the proceedings.

Three of the four Ghostbusters take part in the film, with Wiig effective as always, Jones doing what she can with a paperthin role, and Leslie McKinnon amusing as Ghantt’s fiancée. Galifianakis and Wilson play more stereotypical hicks, with the former comfortably in his element and the latter trying mighty hard to pretend he’s a Southern fried imbecile and even harder to convince viewers that he’s a ruthless, loathsome guy.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN

// The 1960 Western classic The Magnificent Seven (itself an Americanized version of Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 Seven Samurai) found its septet of gunslingers pooling their resources to protect the residents of a small village against the boastful, greedy and downright evil Mexican bandit Calvera, even going so far as to build a wall around the town perimeters.

The new version of The Magnificent Seven plays out as a straightforward oater with plenty of colorful characters and even more colorful action. We all periodically need a rousing action flick to stir our senses, and this handsomely mounted production offers sporadic thrills. It’s just a shame the overall film isn’t better.

In this take, the villain is Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard), who wants to take over the town of Rose Creek and has his army of underlings gun down men and women alike to prove he’s serious. Townsperson Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett), whose husband is murdered by

Bogue himself, takes it upon herself to search for men who can help them in the battle against Bogue.

She first locates Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington), a state-sanctioned bounty hunter, and he in turns recruits the other six: Josh Faraday (Chris Pratt), quick with the cards and the wisecracks; Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke), a former Confederate officer who has lost his nerve; Billy Rocks (Byung-hun Lee), Goodnight’s companion; Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), an eccentric scout; Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), a Mexican outlaw; and Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier), a Comanche warrior. Even with the knowledge that it’s basically a suicide mission, they all agree to take part, whether for money, glory or something else entirely.

Director Antoine Fuqua and scripters Richard Wenk and Nic Pizzolatto don’t just offer carbon copies of the seven from the previous picture — while there are elements of, for example, Yul Brynner’s Chris in Washington’s Chisolm and Steve McQueen’s Vin in Pratt’s Faraday, these are for the most part new characters created for a new film.

While it’s admirable that the filmmakers forged their own path, it’s also lamentable in that, overall, these men aren’t nearly as interesting or as memorable as the 1960 models. Hawke’s intensity keeps Goodnight watchable, but Pratt’s patented shenanigans are less entertaining than usual, and while Washington only has to walk in front of the camera lens to project strength and charisma, his Sam Chisolm is on the stiff side, not nearly as engrossing as the taciturn heroes he essayed in, say, The Book of Eli or his last picture, 2014’s The Equalizer (also directed by Fuqua and written by Wenk).

As for Sarsgaard, it’s disheartening to see this fine actor saddled with such a ridiculous role, a one-note villain who almost makes Hannibal Lecter look like Mahatma Gandhi.

SNOWDEN

/// It’s no match for 2014’s Citizenfour, the Edward Snowden confessional that nabbed the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, but let’s say this about Snowden: It’s the best movie Oliver Stone has helmed since the 20th century.

While it lacks the emotional wallop or technical prowess of Stone’s revered projects from the 1980s and ‘90s (Platoon, JFK and many more), it at least finds the controversial filmmaker shakily getting back on his feet following a post-Y2K resume that includes the disastrous likes of Alexander, W., Savages, and that Wall Street sequel with Shia LaBeouf.

Snowden, with a script by Stone and Kieran Fitzgerald (meshing together a pair of books), even uses as its starting point

the meetings between the whistleblower (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Citizenfour director Laura Poitras (Melissa Leo) and The Guardian journalists Glenn Greenwald (Zachary Quinto) and Ewen MacAskill (Tom Wilkinson), thereafter employing flashbacks as Snowden explains how he progressed from a blinders-on conservative to a man whose disgust in the government’s illegal surveillance of Americans led to him deciding to leak thousands of NSA files.

The film clearly views Snowden as a hero rather than a traitor, and it cuts no slack for anyone on either side of the political aisle, particularly the Bush administration for implementation and the Obama administration for continuation (there are also sound bites of Hillary Clinton stating that Snowden needs to be held accountable and Donald Trump suggesting that he be “executed”).

BRIDGET JONES’S BABY

/// It’s been 12 years since we’ve last seen Bridget Jones, and while that comes close to the 16 years since we last spotted the Blair Witch, it must be noted that the plucky Brit has certainly held up better. As with The Blair Witch Project, the delightful 2001 feature Bridget Jones’s Diary was followed by a dismal sequel (2004’s Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason) — in this case, though, there’s a Happily Ever After in the form of Bridget Jones’s Baby, which proves to be a largely satisfying entry in the franchise.

In this outing, Bridget (Renee Zellweger, again essaying the role that earned her an Oscar nomination) is older but not necessarily wiser, lamenting the fact that she’s alone on her 43rd birthday.

But things soon improve on the romantic — well, at least sexual — front, as Bridget first hooks up with an American matchmaking guru (Patrick Dempsey) she meets at a music festival and then, a few days later, with her former lover Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), now unhappily married and on the verge of getting a divorce.

Shortly thereafter, Bridget finds herself pregnant, and she sets about attempting to figure out not only which of her two beaus is the father but also which one has captured (or, in the case of Darcy, recaptured) her heart.

Bridget Jones’s Baby takes its time hitting its stride, with early sequences proving to be awkward and forced. But as the plot complications pile up, so do the opportunities for Zellweger and an ace supporting cast (including Emma Thompson, hilariously droll as Bridget’s doctor) to strut their stuff, resulting in a film that ultimately does a fine job in delivering its developments with the right amount of comic kick.

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19)

In the 1980s, two performance artists did a project entitled *A Year Tied Together at the Waist.* For 12 months, Linda Montano and Tehching Hsieh were never farther than eight feet away from each other, bound by a rope.

Hsieh said he tried this experiment because he felt very comfortable doing solo work, but wanted to upgrade his abilities as a collaborator. Montano testified that the piece “dislodged a deep hiddenness” in her. It sharpened her intuition and gave her a “heightened passion for living and relating.” If you were ever going to engage in a comparable effort to deepen your intimacy skills, Aries, the coming weeks would be a favorable time to attempt it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

In the coming weeks would you prefer that we refer to you as “voracious”? Or do you like the word “ravenous” better? I have a feeling, based on the astrological omens, that you will be extra super eager to consume vast quantities of just about everything: food, information, beauty, sensory stimulation, novelty, pleasure, and who knows what else.

But please keep this in mind: Your hunger could be a torment or it could be a gift. Which way it goes may depend on your determination to actually enjoy what you devour.

In other words, don’t get so enchanted by the hypnotic power of your longing that you neglect to exult in the gratification when your longing is satisfied.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

When the wind blows at ten miles per hour, a windmill generates eight times more power than when the breeze is five miles per hour. Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect there will be a similar principle at work in your life during the coming weeks. A modest increase in effort and intensity will make a huge difference in the results you produce. Are you willing to push yourself a bit beyond your comfort level in order to harvest a wave of abundance?

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

60

Cuthbert Collingwood (1748-1810) had a distinguished career as an admiral in the British navy, leading the sailors under his command to numerous wartime victories. He was also a good-natured softie whose men regarded him as generous and kind. Between battles, while enjoying his downtime, he hiked through the English countryside carrying acorns, which he planted here and there so the “Navy would never want for oaks to build the fighting ships upon which the country’s safety depended.” (Quoted in *Life in Nelson’s Navy,* by Dudley Pope.) I propose that we make him your role model for the coming weeks. May his example inspire you to be both an effective warrior and a tender soul who takes practical actions to plan for

the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Eighteenth-century musician Giuseppe Tartini has been called “the godfather of modern violin playing.” He was also an innovative composer who specialized in poignant and poetic melodies. One of his most famous works is the Sonata in G Minor, also known as the *Devil’s Trill.* Tartini said it was inspired by a dream in which he made a pact with the Devil to provide him with new material. The Infernal One picked up a violin and played the amazing piece that Tartini transcribed when he woke up. Here’s the lesson for you: He didn’t actually sell his soul to the Devil. Simply engaging in this rebellious, taboo act in the realm of fantasy had the alchemical effect of unleashing a burst of creative energy. Try it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The planets have aligned in a curious pattern. I interpret it as meaning that you have cosmic permission to indulge in more self-interest and self-seeking than usual. So it won’t be taboo for you to unabashedly say, “What exactly is in it for me?” or “Prove your love, my dear” or “Gimmeee gimmeee gimmee what I want.” If someone makes a big promise, you shouldn’t be shy about saying, “Will you put that in writing?” If you get a sudden urge to snag the biggest piece of the pie, obey that urge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Goodbye, pain.” On the three days after that, say these words, even if you can’t bring yourself to mean them with complete sincerity: “I forgive everybody of everything.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

For the foreseeable future, you possess the following powers: to make sensible that which has been unintelligible . . . to find amusement in situations that had been tedious . . . to create fertile meaning where before there had been sterile chaos. Congratulations, Sagittarius! You are a first-class transformer. But that’s not all. I suspect you will also have the ability to distract people from concerns that aren’t important . . . to deepen any quest that has been too superficial or careless to succeed . . . and to ask the good questions that will render the bad questions irrelevant.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

In the past eleven months, did you ever withhold your love on purpose? Have there been times when you “punished” those you cared about by acting cold and aloof?

Can you remember a few occasions when you could have been more generous or compassionate, but chose not to be? If you answered yes to any of those questions, the next three weeks will be an excellent time to atone.

You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when you can reap maximum benefit from correcting stingy mistakes. I suggest that you make gleeful efforts to express your most charitable impulses. Be a tower of bountiful power.

In the course of her long career, Libran actress Helen Hayes won an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony.

Years before all that glory poured down on her, she met playwright Charles MacArthur at a party in a posh Manhattan salon. Hayes was sitting shyly in a dark corner.

MacArthur glided over to her and slipped a few salted peanuts into her hand. “I wish they were emeralds,” he told her. It was love at first sight. A few years after they got married, MacArthur bought Hayes an emerald necklace.

I foresee a metaphorically comparable event in your near future, Libra: peanuts serving as a promise of emeralds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Welcome to the Painkiller Phase of your cycle. It’s time to relieve your twinges, dissolve your troubles, and banish your torments. You can’t sweep away the whole mess in one quick heroic purge, of course. But I bet you can pare it down by at least 33 percent. (More is quite possible.)

To get started, make the following declaration five times a day for the next three days: “I am grateful for all the fascinating revelations and indispensable lessons tht my pain has taught me.” On each of the three days after that, affirm this truth five times: “I have learned all I can from my pain, and therefore no longer need its reminders.

In 1415, a smaller English army defeated French forces at the Battle of Agincourt in northern France. Essential to England’s victory were its 7,000 longbowmen -- archers who shot big arrows using bows that were six feet long.

So fast and skilled were these warriors that they typically had three arrows flying through the air at any one time.

That’s the kind of high-powered proficiency I recommend that you summon during your upcoming campaign. If you need more training to reach that level of effectiveness, get it immediately.

Let’s imagine your life as a novel. The most recent chapter, which you’ll soon be drawing to a close, might be called “The Redemption of Loneliness.” Other apt titles: “Intimacy with the Holy Darkness” or “The Superpower of Surrender” or “The End Is Secretly the Beginning.” Soon you will start a new chapter, which I’ve tentatively dubbed “Escape from Escapism,” or perhaps “Liberation from False Concepts of Freedom” or “Where the Wild Things Are.” And the expansive adventures of this next phase will have been made possible by the sweet-and-sour enigmas of the past four weeks.
