PEOPLE & PEACE TALK SHOW: CONRAD STRAUCH IN CONVERSATION WITH FRANK MAHOOD AND CHET KABARA (In-Person at NSK Location)

Wednesday, June 17, 5:00–6:00 p.m.

In Pride Month, Frank Mahood and Chet Kabara share a life shaped by love, family, and a deep commitment to community. Frank was an early voice in Princeton’s LGBTQ history, helping create spaces of connection and belonging when such spaces were rare. As a founding member of what became Gay People Princeton, he helped build a movement rooted in dialogue and care.

Together, their story reflects profound change — from years without recognition to marriage equality — offering a deeply human perspective on identity, partnership, and the evolving meaning of belonging, and reminding us of the quiet courage it takes to live, love, and remain open across changing times.

Registration required, no fee.

Wednesday, June 24, 6:00–8:00 p.m.

On a remote island off the coast of eighteenth century France, a painter is commissioned to complete a wedding portrait of a young woman who refuses to be seen. What begins as an act of quiet observation becomes something neither woman can look away from — a love story told in stolen glances, crashing waves, and the aching beauty of a moment that cannot last.

Céline Sciamma’s masterpiece is a film about desire, memory, and what it means to truly look at another person. Visually stunning and emotionally devastating, it has earned its place among the great romantic films of our time.

Rated: R; Genre: Historical Romance/Drama; Run Time: 2 hours, 2 minutes

Please note this film is in French with English subtitles and rated R for some nudity and sexuality.
