Tuesday, October 1 at 7pm CETRA LANGUAGE SOLUTIONS The Church oN Dauphine Street
dir. Ann Hedreen & Rustin Thompson, US, 2007, digital, 83 min.
The Church of Dauphine Street explores a miracle after tragedy struck in New Orleans. This is a story about Father Joseph Benson, a Northern Irish-man, and Arthine Vicks, an ex-Marine fluent in American Sign Language: two unlikely allies working to reunite one of New Orleans’ most unusual, most independent congregations. Their church is home to the city’s deaf Catholics and many Spanishspeaking immigrants, making it tri-lingual. But more than anything this is a story about home and the mysterious, powerful allure of New Orleans.
Free screening.
Wednesday, October 2 at 7pm Tube Time! IHP presents a night of videos straight from YouTube through our 2K Barco digital cinema projector and onto the big screen. Since 2005, YouTube has been a rapidly-growing user-generated resource that many use for diverse functions, research, personal expression, and piracy among them. Tube Time! has been a feature in past editions of the Migrating Forms Festival (formerly the New York Underground Film Festival) and it feels strangely appropriate to appropriate it here. We’ve simply asked participants to introduce a 20-minute thematic playlist comprised of videos of their choosing. We expect the results to delight, shock, excite, and horrify! Participants include: Kelsey Halliday Johnson: artist/Events and Programs Coordinator, Vox Populi; Jesse Pires: Program Curator, International House Philadelphia; Chip Schwartz: writer, Knight Arts Philadelphia; Ted Passon: filmmaker; Matt Suib: video artist Running time approximately 100 minutes. Please see website for more information.
Free screening.
