Closing Film: The Babushkas of Chernobyl

Nov 13, 2016 5:30pm – 7:30pm17:30 – 19:30 Film, Guest Speaker featured Megan Irving Comment Fenimore Art Museum

The rousing real-life tale of a proudly defiant group of women who have managed to live inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (“The Zone”)—the restricted area monitored by the Russian military after the 1986 nuclear power plant catastrophe where fallout contamination was highest and access tightly controlled—is one of the most resonant and warmly human stories of resilience ever recorded on film.

All the Time in the World

Nov 13, 2016 3:00pm – 5:00pm15:00 – 17:00 Film, Guest Speaker Megan Irving Comment Fenimore Art Museum

All the Time in the World, presented by filmmaker Suzanne Crocker with Q&A following the screening.

Canadian filmmaker Suzanne Crocker spent nearly a year in a cabin in the wilds of the Yukon outback. She and her family lived off the land with the supplies they portaged from home—but there was no electricity, no internet, no phone, no running water. The aim of this demanding exercise was to restore a fuller sense of reality and familial connection, and Suzanne had the conviction that leaving everything behind was the only way.
