SUMMARY:Fordham Theatre Presents: "Sweat" By Lynn Nottage
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Nottage’s Sweat\, a gripping\, sobering portrait of the unraveling of the American dream by the legendary writer and two-time Pulitzer winner\, opens our season. Set in Reading\, Pennsylvania\, in 2008\, the play follows a tight-knit group of factory workers whose lives are upended as layoffs\, economic anxiety\, and rising tensions begin to fracture their community. Inspired by Nottage’s years of interviews with residents of Reading\, one of America’s hardest-hit post-industrial cities\, this Tony-nominated drama captures the anger\, loyalty\, humor\, and heartbreak of people fighting to hold onto dignity in a system leaving them behind.

SUMMARY:NYC Premiere: Welcome Space Brothers
DESCRIPTION:Join director Jodi Wille for the NYC premiere of her new film\, Welcome Space Brothers. \nUFO’s and extraterrestrials are all the rage as the government declassifies secret files and movies and television are producing new dramas about human contact with alien life. \nBut we have been here before! \nWelcome Space Brothers dives into the extraordinary true story of the Unarius Academy of Science\, an extraterrestrial-channeling spiritual school founded in El Cajon in the 1970s. Led by the dazzlingly outlandish Ruth E. Norman—revered as “Archangel Uriel”—Unarius evolved into a wildly inventive public-access television phenomenon. The group produced films that appeared to be elaborately campy space epics yet were\, at their core\, sincere therapeutic works. \n​From The Source Family director Jodi Wille comes another mind-expanding voyage into the wild frontiers of American belief\, bringing her singular blend of empathy\, humor\, and emotional insight to one of the country’s most fascinating outsider communities. Produced by Caryn Capotosto (Won’t You Be My Neighbor) and Jodi Wille. Executive producers include Elijah Wood\, Moby\, and Oscar-winning filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. \nA talkback with the director and Unariun Kevin Kennedy will follow the screening. \nThis event is free but registration is required. \nThe event is organized and co-sponsored by Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture and Departments of Communication and Media Studies\, American Studies\, Theatre and Visual Arts\, and Theology.

SUMMARY:"Afterlives of San Juan Hill" Exhibition Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:In 1958\, the Black and Brown community of San Juan Hill in New York City was destroyed to make way for the Lincoln Square Urban Renewal Project. Designated as a slum by the powerful yet unelected city planner Robert Moses\, the 18-block neighborhood on Manhattan’s West side\, from 60th to 70th Streets\, was home to approximately 7\,000 residents and 800 businesses. The neighborhood was taken through eminent domain to construct the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and to establish a Manhattan campus for Fordham University—dramatically shifting the cultural and demographic landscape of the neighborhood\, the city\, and our university. This exhibit contemplates Fordham’s role in the destruction of this community. \nExhibition will run from Sept. 9 through Oct. 4 in the Ildiko Butler Gallery.\nThere will be an opening reception on Wednesday\, Sept. 9 from 6 to 8 p.m.

SUMMARY:Opening of “Binders of the Covenant” Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of the exhibition\, “Binders of the Covenant\,” which brings to life the story of Torah binders from the Memorial Scrolls Trust. The exhibit spotlights 25 historic binders that survived the Shoah and explores their significance for European Jewry\, genealogy\, and why they have relevance in today’s world. Two officials from the Czech Republic Consulate in New York will be in attendance: Consul General Karel Smékal and Deputy Consul General Michal Kaplan. \nIn 1964\, 1\,564 Torah scrolls arrived at the synagogue building in Knightsbridge\, London. These sacred survivors of the Shoah had survived a journey from small towns and large cities in Bohemia and Moravia\, the land near Prague\, to a new life in the Jewish diaspora. The Torah scrolls are now part of the Memorial Scroll Trust. With the scrolls came also hundreds of Torah binders used to wrap the actual parchment under the ornate Torah cover. Many\, typically hand-sewn by women\, offer biographical inscriptions creating tangible connections with the families–men\, women\, and children–of the past. These Torah binders make up one of the largest collections of this sort in the world. \nThe exhibition “Binders of the Covenant” at Fordham University\, curated by Warren Klein\, Amy Levine-Kennedy\, and Magda Teter\, is the first time that these precious textiles will be shown in the United States. \nThe binders are shown alongside photographs of the towns from which some of them came by Sheila Pallay and a contemporary reinterpretation of the tradition by artist Rachel Kanter. \nThe exhibit is made possible by the Hadassah Ruth Weiner Fund for Jewish Art at Fordham\, the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Collection Endowment\, and the Henry S. Miller Student Research in Jewish Studies Endowment\, and the Memorial Scrolls Trust. It is co-presented in partnership with the Leo Baeck Institute of New York. \nThe exhibit will be on view at the Walsh Family Library on the main floor and on the 4th floor in the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Room from March 17 to May 30\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Films Worth Talking About\, Even If Difficult: Silence
DESCRIPTION:This spring\, the film series Films Worth Talking About\, Even If Difficult expands its programming into a broader interpretive territory. “Difficult films” are not limited to films that are emotionally challenging or politically provocative; they can also refer to films that are visually experimental\, sonically demanding\, historically complex\, or with multi-threaded or temporally shifting narratives. Ultimately\, the series is a cinematic pretext for hanging out\, eating\, and talking—a communal exercise where we discuss\, discover\, and sometimes disagree\, which is all part of the experience. \nAbout the first screening this semester:\nSilence\, directed in 2016 by Martin Scorsese\, is a historical drama about belief\, doubt\, and perseverance. It follows two 17th-century Portuguese Jesuit priests who travel to Japan to find their mentor\, rumored to have committed apostasy. Amidst brutal persecution of Christians\, they face tests of faith and experience immense physical and psychological suffering. Silence deftly explores themes of cultural conflict\, the nature of internal faith versus public depictions\, power\, colonial expansion\, and the Tokugawa Shogunate’s perspective on foreign subversion. With a deliberate pace\, Silence is an extended and nuanced meditation on a complex question rather than a swift\, superficial filmic answer. \nPanelists:\nFather George Drance\, S.J.\, Artist-in-Residence\, Theatre Program; Father Michael Zampelli\, S.J.\, Associate Professor\, Theatre Program; and Professor James McCartin\, Associate Professor\, Department of Theology and Dean Fellow. Moderated by Stephan Apicella-Hitchcock\, Head of Visual Arts. Open to all\, with pizza and a raffle prize. \nThe Office of the Arts and Sciences Dean invites you to step outside your regular streaming queue\, experience something different\, and join a community of curious film lovers throughout the year. Please bring your friends\, an open mind\, and have a question ready. Additionally\, to sweeten the deal\, we offer raffle items connected to the film. By participating\, you could walk away with a special prize AND a different perspective. \nPreviously:\nDahomey\, directed in 2024 by Mati Diop.\nPanelists: Associate Professor of African and African American Studies/Comparative Literature/Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies Laurie Lambert and Associate Professor of Art History Maria Ruvoldt\, moderated by Stephan Apicella-Hitchcock\, Clinical Professor\, Head of the Visual Arts Program\, Dean Fellow. \nThe Exorcist\, directed in 1973 by William Friedkin\, based on the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty.\nSponsored by The Office of the Arts & Sciences Dean and the Visual Arts Program.\nPanelists: Dr. Rachel Annunziato\, Professor of Psychology\, Vice Dean for Arts & Sciences; Father David Marcotte\, S.J.\, Associate Professor of Psychology\, and moderator Stephan Apicella-Hitchcock\, Clinical Professor\, Head of the Visual Arts Program\, Dean Fellow. \nAkira\, directed in 1988 by Katsuhiro Otomo\, based on his 1982 manga Akira.\nSponsored by the FitzSimons Civics and Civility Initiative in collaboration with the Office of the Arts & Sciences Dean and the Visual Arts Program.\nPanelists: Nushelle de Silva\, Assistant Professor of Art History; Terrence Mosley\, Adjunct Professor\, Theatre Program; Anthony A.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: "Painting the Border: A Child's Voice"
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit “Painting the Border: A Child’s Voice” features 33 paintings that express experiences of children affected by U.S. policies such as the MPPs (Migration Protection Protocols\, 2019) that returned asylum-seekers to Mexico to await their asylum hearings. Those policies have been replaced today with expansive and unchecked power\, allowing ICE agents to deport migrants and separate families\, leaving children traumatized and emotionally adrift when family members are detained or deported. \nThese paintings take us into their world. The young artists who created the exhibit answered one question with their brush strokes: What do you think about the border? ¿Qué opinas de la frontera? The images reveal a longing for home\, the experience of journeying\, feelings of hopefulness\, and\, finally\, the disillusionment of border realities. Seven years after these images were painted\, the relevance and timeliness remain profoundly impactful. \nThis exhibit is a collaborative effort initiated by Skidmore College Teaching Professor Diana Barnes\, PhD.

SUMMARY:Hidden Sparks—A Menachem Daum Film Dialogue Series: A Life Apart
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Jewish Studies presents a retrospective of Menachem Daum’s compelling and challenging films. The four-film series begins on Jan. 27 with a screening and discussion of A Life Apart: Hasidism in America\, the first in-depth\, documentary portrait of the daily life\, beliefs\, and history of contemporary Hasidic Jews in New York City\, exploring conflicts\, burdens\, and rewards of the Hasidic way of life. \nAyala Fader\, PhD\, professor of anthropology; Oren Rudavsky\, co-director and producer of A Life Apart; Marty Dornbaum\, producer of A Life Apart; and Rifke Daum\, Menachem Daum’s wife\, will take part in a post-screening discussion. \nThe remaining films in the series include Hiding and Seeking on Feb. 3\, The Ruins of Lifta on Feb. 9\, and Memory Keepers on Feb. 17. \nAbout Menachem Daum \nMenachem Daum\, a child of survivors of the Holocaust\, stumbled upon a family story in the Polish town of Dzialoszyce that would change the course of his life. His films explore his quest to find common ground between Jews and non-Jews\, Orthodox Jews and secular Jews\, Polish Catholics and Polish Jews\, as well as between Palestinians and Holocaust Survivors. His Orthodox upbringing as a child of survivors born in a DP camp and brought up in Schenectady and mostly in New York City\, and his early encounters at Brooklyn College with secular Jews\, as well as in New York with Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach\, led him on his first journey to Poland in the late 1980s. Carlebach’s outreach to the Polish people was in total contradiction to his experience with his own survivor community\, who often had disdain for their former Polish neighbors. That experience inspired him to re-examine his own viewpoints and to embark on a lifelong search for a way to bridge the often insurmountable gaps between people. Equally central to Menachem’s lifelong search was seeking to understand his father’s faith after losing his wife and a child during the Holocaust at the hands of the Nazis. This search led to his exploration of the Hasidic Jewish community and its rebirth in the United States. For over 20 years\, Menachem travelled repeatedly to Poland\, seeking out “memory keepers\,” Polish Catholics and Jews who sought to preserve Jewish memory and bring Jewish life and culture back to Poland\, where it was decimated. \n
