Cinema for social change
In 2021 WRIF (White River Indie Films, now a program of JAM) hosted a virtual filmmaker discussion on the role of film in dismantling supremacy. Panelists included Wafic Faour of Vermonters for Justice in Palestine, now often in the local news, in conversation with Ya'Ke Smith ("Pandemic Chronicles") and Jen Marlowe (There is a Field, Remembering Gaza), hosted by Dartmouth Film Prof. Desirée Garcia. Look for more topical films and conversations at WRIF 2024 coming Feb. 15-18.

All singing! All dancing!
Musical theatre is in the limelight in the latest episode of The Magic's in the Music, from community producer Barbara Krinitz. Entertainer John Davidson; Brian Crawford, manager of the Lebanon Opera House; actress Amy Fortier; and singer Ula Hedwig discuss what makes acting with music so compelling. Plus, a special performance by actor-singer-composer Tommy Crawford of White River Junction. "People like musicals because it raises the value of the emotions," said Davidson, the former host of TV's Hollywood Squares.

Conservationist Ben Kilham rehabilitates black bear cubs at his Kilham Bear Center in Lyme. "It's like having babies. Every four hours you have to feed them. It's a lot of work," said Kilham. His Howe Library lecture (complete with home movies) covered everything from bears' hierarchy to diets, dens, and mating habits. "Bears are afraid of humans," he said. "But they will bluff charge, if they are pushed."
