Film | Classic Cannes Film Festival Winner: Luis Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel (1962)


Bunuel illustrates in this satiric parable that society, placed in certain test conditions, breaks down from its internal contradictions and falsities. The bourgeois guests at a society dinner discover that they are unable to leave the room where they have gathered. As time passes without food, water or the ministrations of servants, their social facades crumble giving way to bestiality. 91 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. The feature will be preceded by a short film.

Lecture | History of Newtown Pippin Apples


The Big Apple has been too long without its apple heritage. The Newtown Pippin is an heirloom fruit from NYC that has been revered by those who value the art of food since it first ripened nearly three hundred years ago. Thomas Jefferson wrote home from Paris, “They have no apples here to compare with our Newtown Pippin.” Benjamin Franklin shipped Newtown Pippins to England, where Queen Victoria was later an ardent fan of NYC’s premier apple. This is a wonderful lecture about the history of NYC apples.
