he Gold Coast International Film Festival will offer an array of films touching on everything from baseball in Israel to a humorous twist on chronic back pain. More than 80 movies will be offered over 10 days in the Soundview Cinema of Port Washington and the Bowtie theaters in Manhasset, Roslyn and Great Neck, according to the festival’s website, along with special guests and talks after certain films. There will be dozens of documentaries, foreign films from 22 countries, dramas, family programs, comedies and short films ranging from four to 30 minutes each. Caroline Sorokoff, the festival director, said it will feature award-winning movies and include dramas that are making premieres either on Long Island or
New York. B u t what stands out in particular this year is the sheer number of visits and question and answer sessions with people involved in the film industry, Sorokoff said. “It’s really all about great films you can’t see anywhere else and insider Q&As,” Sorokoff said. “That’s really why people come to us and why people have been calling us already asking, ‘When’s the schedule going to be released?’” The Gold Coast International Film Festival will launch with a night of Beatlemania on Friday, Nov. 2, at 7 p.m. in the Bowtie Great Neck Squire Cinemas. It will feature the Long Island premiere of “Deconstructing the Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour,” a live performance by tribute band Penny Lane!, and a visit from musicologist and Beatles expert Scott Freiman, who created the “Deconstructing the Beatles” series. Another of the films on the schedule is “Bathtubs over Broadway,” a documentary focusing on so-called Broadway-style “industrial musicals” and “Late Show with David Letterman” comedy writer Steve Young’s journey through a world of corporate song and dance. Young will be available for a Q&A session after the film, which will play on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. in Port Washington’s Soundview Cinema. There will also be an underdog sports story, “Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel,” making its Long Island premiere
on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 4:30 p.m. at the Bowtie Great Neck Squire Cinemas and a visit from Jeremy Newberger, one of its directors. The film chronicles Israel’s national baseball team’s unexpected victory at the 2017 World Baseball Classic, its battles against other national teams, and explorations of the team members’ Jewish identities. Another film set to premiere on Long Island is “Yellow Is Forbidden,” which follows Chinese designer Guo Pei and captures her rise to the international scene as she faces challenges from various forces like tradition, prejudice and the pressure China’s economic rise puts on artists. That film will be shown on Friday, Nov. 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the Bowtie Great Neck Squire Cinemas. “Diane,” deemed the best narrative film at the Tribeca Film Festival and produced by Martin Scorsese, will also be shown at the Soundview Cinema in Port Washington on Thursday, Nov. 8, at 7:30 p.m. The event will also feature a Q&A with Matt Prigge, a New York University professor and film critic, who worked as film editor for Metro and written for publications like The Village Voice, Philadelphia Weekly and Nashville Scene. Sorokoff also highlighted Making Memories, a special program for people with memory loss and their caregivers, which will include clips from military themed films and a sing-along led by musician Roberta Fabiano. This will take place on Tuesday, Nov.
6, at 11:30 a.m. in the Gold Coast Arts Center. There will also be a set of family film days, including on Monday, Nov. 12, starting at 12:30 p.m. at the Gold Coast Arts Center with handpicked films for a family audience, Sorokoff said. “Song of Back and Neck,” a romantic comedy, tells the tale of Fred, a paralegal who suffers from immobilizing back pain. He meets a client going through divorce proceedings – which not only sparks a romance, but unconventional acupuncture treatment for his back. Paul Lieberstein, the director, producer and screenwriter of the film, will appear via Skype from Los Angeles to field questions from audience members at the film’s screening at the Soundview Cinema in Port Washington on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 7:30 p.m. “It’s a really quirky, fun, romantic comedy,” Sorokoff said. Sorokoff also said the film “Happy,” which documents how people around the world find happiness despite their living conditions, as well as the panel featuring Katz Institute for Women’s Health experts and Roko Belic, the film’s director, is particularly relevant for today. The film will be shown on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. in the Soundview Cinema of Port Washington. “It’s just kind of a nice way to remind people to take a step back and take care of themselves,” Sorokoff said. A full list of offerings can be found at the Gold Coast International Film Festival’s website. Tickets are now on sale.

Direct from Broadway to Port’s Landmark Bobby Conte Thornton isn’t actually referring to his own life story with the title of his solo cabaret show. The 25-year-old’s “Blame It on My Youth” debuted to critical acclaim at the historic Venetian Room in the Fairmont San Francisco before coming home to sell out at Manhattan’s Feinstein’s/54 Below, with a set list that takes him from Nat King Cole to Alan Mencken to Pasek and Paul. Now, direct from his highly praised Broadway debut as Calogero, the lead role in Chazz Palminteri’s hit musical “A Bronx Tale,” Thornton is now bringing “Blame It On My Youth” to Landmark on Main Street on Friday, Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. In addition to the full concert with a four piece band, Thornton sits down with Palminteri on stage to talk about their unique collaboration of working together on his life story. Steve Barnes of the Albany Times-Union says Thornton delivers, “a polished, impassioned set with a musical and emotional maturity beyond his 25 years. He’s still plenty youthful, prone to stomping on the stage or leaping on the piano or kicking out
his long, lanky legs like a thoroughbred colt, and he exudes a young person’s idealism. But his musical choices and the interpretive intelligence behind the way he uses his supple, powerful tenor suggest an older, wiser performer.” A 2015 graduate of the University of Michigan, Thornton starred in “Grease” at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ, and “Les Miserables” at the Muny in St. Louis while pursuing his BFA. His New York theater credits include “My Fair Lady,” directed by Richard Maltby Jr. Thornton has also starred regionally in Two River Theater’s all-male “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” and the world premiere of Ken Ludwig’s “A Comedy of Tenors.” His television credits include “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “Madam Secretary,” and the upcoming CBS military legal drama
“The Code.” The audience can expect a lively crowd at this show given that Thornton has deep roots in the community around Landmark. “After college, Bobby came to live with us in Manhasset while he auditioned for Broadway,” says his grandmother Helen “Mimi” Conte. “He got to spend a lot of time with his ‘Pappy’ Anthony, listening to the stories Anthony had heard from his father, a first generation immigrant from Italy, and of course I stuffed him full of homemade raviolis and Italian family values. So when he went to audition for ‘A Bronx Tale,’ he was a natural for the part that Chazz Palminteri had written about his own life growing up in the Bronx.” Tickets to the performance are available through Landmark’s Box Office, 516-767-6444 and online at www.landmarkonmainstreet.org.
Tesla returns to rock The Paramount It’s been said that lightning never strikes the same place twice. However, it does in the case of the band Tesla, who will return to The Paramount on Thursday, Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. Over the course of their 30-year career, the
hard rock quintet that hails from Sacramento, Calif., has sold more than 25 million albums and performed to sold-out crowds across the world. Comprised of Frank Hannon and Dave Rude on guitar, Brian Wheat
on bass, Troy Luccketta on drums, and Jeff Keith as lead vocalist, the band’s journey kicked off with 1986’s platinum-certified debut, Mechanical Resonance, which solidified them as a household name and yielded signature anthems, such as “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Love Song.” Tesla’s musical road continues with this upcoming concert, sure to entertain their many fans. The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington. To purchase tickets to the show, go to www.paramountny.com.

Rock music photo gems focus of exhibit Photographer Mick Rock, who was instrumental in creating some of the most iconic images in rock music history, will be the focus of a retrospective that will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20, from 6 to 10 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 21, from 1 to 6 p.m., at The Jewelry Studio, located at 1107 Old Country Road in Plainview. This unique gallery experience will include a collection of limited edition photographic pieces that will be on sale to the public, along with wearable jewelry art designed by The Jewelry Studio founder, Robert Pepkin. The artworks that will be on display range from classic portrait pieces of Long Island natives like Joan Jett and Lou Reed, to Rock’s quintessential album covers from the late ’60s through today, including Lou Reed’s Transformer, Iggy Pop’s Raw Power, The Ramones’ End of the Century, and works from his creative partnership with David Bowie. With the upcoming release of Queen’s biopic, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” arriving in theaters this November, the collection will include some of Rock’s timeless works with the band including their Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack album covers. Rock is often referred to as “the man who shot the ’70s,” for his images of Syd Barrett (Pink Floyd), David Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Queen, the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, Blondie and many more. London born, he has resided in New York for the past 35 years, and has shot more than 100 album covers. His recent subjects include Snoop Dogg, Lenny Kravitz, Janelle Monáe, Alicia Keys, Daft Punk, Rufus Wainwright, Kings of Leon. Rock recently shot special stills for the new TV version of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” featuring the transgender actress Laverne Cox as Frank N. Furter. He also produced and directed seminal music videos for Bowie, including “John, I’m Only Dancing,” “Jean Genie,” “Space Oddity,” and “Life On Mars.” At the event, Rock will autograph the new trade edition of his publication, “Mick Rock: The Rise of David
Bowie, 1972-1973,” a limited-edition book that sold out just before Bowie’s death. A documentary about Rock’s career, entitled “SHOT!,” launched at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2016 and released theatrically in 2017. “I’ve never felt like a voyeur, although I’ve certainly done plenty of looking,” Rock was quoted as saying in the London Times. “I work from the inside out. Like a cook, I gather all the ingredients and keep mixing and stirring and tasting until the kind of effluvia starts to rise, then I’m off to the races. It’s an addictive kind of a feeling that I need a regular shot of otherwise I don’t feel right.” A Long Island native, Pepkin attended the Pratt Institute for Fine Art before working with fine jewelry artist Marla Mencher. He found inspiration in a new kind of art that people could wear. After a chance meeting with Francis Ford Coppola’s father Carmine, he was hired to work on the set design of their production of “Opera on the Sound.” Pepkin continued to get more involved in the design and creation of jewelry and eventually opened The Jewelry Studio. During his 40 year career as an artist and jeweler, he has been inspired by countless artists both inside and outside his field. Pepkin first met Rock more than 30 years ago and is excited to collaborate with him in their upcoming gallery exhibit. “The attraction to Mick’s work for me comes from the many theatrical undertones, from the drama behind the legendary black and white Queen II album cover to capturing the dramatic poses of Iggy Pop on stage,” Pepkin says. “All of his shots capture the spirit of the artist or band he works with. The same has gone for me when trying to create something that someone will wear. You have to capture their spirit because the pieces become part of them and part of their own history.” Through David Glicker, a mutual friend and promoter, the two artists have reconnected to collaborate on this special gallery show that runs through January.

A talk about warbler watching this fall The North Shore Audubon Society will present a talk, “Fall Warblers on Long Island,� delivered by Joe Giunta on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. The event will take place at the Manhasset Public Library at 30 Onderdonk Ave. Giunta, a native New Yorker, has been an avid birder in the region for nearly 30 years.

SUNY music school to perform in Herricks Two performing ensembles from SUNY Potsdam Crane School of Music, the Crane Concert Choir and Crane Latin Ensemble, will present their â€œÂĄCanta Cuba!â€? program at Herricks High School on Monday, Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m. The concert, â€œÂĄCanta Cuba!,â€? will feature choral music by Cuban composers Esteban Salas y Castro, Calixto Ă lvarez, Wilma Alba Cal, MoisĂŠs Simons, Tania LeĂłn, Compay Segundo, Miguel Matamoros and others. The Crane Latin Ensemble will perform traditional Afro-Cuban pieces as performed by Tito Puente, La Lupe, Hector Lavoe, Oscar Hernandez and Chris Washburne, among others. The Crane Concert Choir is a vocal ensemble whose performances focus on diverse American cultures that are prevalent in New York State. Over the past 18 months, members of the Crane Concert Choir have walked and performed along the Camino de Santiago in Spain and biked the Luther Trail in Germany. The year will culminate with a hike to Machu Picchu in May 2019. The Crane Latin Ensemble is dedicated to promoting Latin American dance music, specializing in Afro-Cu-
ban and Puerto Rican traditional musical styles, including Son, Mambo, Cha Cha, Guaguancó, Cumbia and even a bit of Reggaetón. The ensemble collaborates with traditional artists, such as former members of the Tito Puente Orchestra and Los Naranjos, the oldest continuously functioning Son group in Cuba, as well as contemporary artists such as Chris Washburn. The Crane Latin Ensemble recently returned from a cultural exchange trip to Cienfuegos, Cuba. In addition, they have performed in Monterrey, Pachuca, and Puebla, MÊxico, as well as in Ottawa, Ontario. The group has also recently toured around central New York State and New York City, presenting workshops on Afro-Cuban music at local schools. Founded in 1886, SUNY Potsdam’s Crane School of Music has established a long legacy of excellence in music education and performance. With more than 540 undergraduate and graduate students, Crane places a strong emphasis on cultural diversity within ensemble programming.

Student art focus of Halloween exhibit The Huntington Arts Council invited students in grades 6 through 12 to create and submit art inspired by the theme of Halloween. The result is the exhibit, Nightmare on Main Street, which will be on display from Friday, Oct. 19 through Saturday, Nov. 3. “I love spooky, but not horror,� said the show’s juror, Jessica Valentin. “I blend my work with spooky themes, color, and sweetness so I can deal with the things that scare me. How do you face the things that scare you?� A costume reception will take place on Friday, Oct. 26, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Main Street Gallery, 213 Main St. in Huntington, where prizes will be awarded in two categories, grades 6 to 8 and 9 to 12. The students who were accepted into the show include: Olivia Belluomo, Brooke Blumberg, Sage Boiko, Grace Burkart, Giavanna Castro, Ziqian Chen, Maxwell DeFalco, Alysse Fazal, Gloria Gang, Rachel Taylor Goldsmith, Elizabeth Gordin, Jenna Hart, Zoe Hartmann, Morgan Hlaing, Jiayi Huo, Evelyn Johnson, Aya Karimealaoui, Evgenia Kennedy, Anna Laimo, Siyu Lei, Juliette Liberatoscioli, Angelina Lomangino, Jessica Lyle, Sara Madsen, Chase McGill, Madalyn Metzger, Frida Misko, Benjamin Pollard, Sophia Polizzi, Dylan Roca, Matthew Rubenfeld, Jessica Rush, Mehr Sharma, Martina Simone, Juliah Triana, Leia Ulrich, Anna Vig, Emily Villavicen-
cio, Isabelle Waldorf, Hephzibah Yoo and Ida Zuo. “Nightmare on Main Street is in its seventh year and continues to receive a strong response from the student artists who enter the show as well as the surrounding community,â€? said Huntington Arts Council Executive Director Marc Courtade. “With over 85 pieces submitted and 41 artists chosen from across Nassau and Suolk Counties, the artwork featured in this exhibit reects an incredible level of talent. We are always thrilled to see the work of young adults in our gallery. Please join us for our costume reception on the 26th, where awards will be presented to select artists in the grade 6 to 8 and 9 to 12 categories, as well as prizes for best costume. Its a fun evening, everyone is welcome.â€? “I was honored and excited to be chosen as a juror. It was surprising; the layered complexity, and the technical skill of these young artists. I love the places that they took the theme. It was hard. There was lots of good work to choose from,â€? added Valentin. Known for her heartbreaking pop style, Valentin works in the digital and collage realms. Her art has graced gallery and street walls from Long Island to Manhattan. Her latest project, MuĂąeca Arthouse, is a unique gallery space in Patchogue. This is a free event, and all are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be served.

OUR TOWN
Bringing back Broadway of ‘70s, ‘80s Why do certain songs catch on and become smash hits? Why do only a few musicals having long runs? An obvious answer is that amazing talent has been enlisted during production. To establish a Broadway hit you must have great songwriters, great directors, amazing singers and actors, talented choreographers and experts in set design and lighting and costumes. All that’s true but to have a smash Broadway hit you need something else. You need to tap into the culture’s deepest hopes. It has been said that the arts are the way that a culture dreams. The culture’s dreams remain unconscious until an artist somehow expresses them for us. If the playmaker and songwriter taps into our deepest hopes they just may produce a smash Broadway hit. So when I got a call from producer Margo Bayroff of the Herricks Community Players I was more than happy to meet with her and explore what this seasons offering was all about. We met at the Herricks Community Center Theatre where Margo told me that they had decided to put on a musical revue based upon the biggest Broadway shows of the 1970’ and 1980’s including classics taken

The 1970s was the birth of the feminist movement ANIMAL LEAGUE AMERICA and I thought this song was a true symbol of the embattled and weakened and even castrated male of the 1970s who seemed rather confused as to what to do about female power. And the Me Too movement of today attests to the fact that this issue has not been adequately resolved in any way. The second song from the show I chose to analyze was “Somewhere That’s Green” from the comedy horror musical “Little Shop of Horrors” (1986.)

home with a white picket fence and a nice green lawn which “doesn’t have to be as fancy as those Levittown homes.” Not only is this song about the slow and inevitable death of the American Dream but the play itself symbolizes what is to emerge as America’s greatest enemy. You will recall that this play was about a man-eating Venus flytrap who could only grow and prosper when fed by human flesh and blood. And it that’s not a perfect symbol of American corporate greed I don’t know what is. As I posited at the beginning of this piece smash hits only happen when they tap into the culture’s deepest fears and dreams. The fact that the Herricks Community Players have chosen the do a revue of the shows of the 70’s and 80’s means that they had the good sense to explore the zeitgeist of those times. What I discovered was that the birth of feminism in the ’70s and the death of the American Dream in the ’80s were two great big issues that artists and theatre-goers alike were worried about. Both those issues are still with us today. Broadway is an amazing form of entertainment and one of America’s greatest achievements. People come to New York from all over the world to go to a Broadway show. Along with being entertained there is also something happening to the audience member unconsciously as well. They are connecting to the American soul. Go see Herricks to Broadway on Friday through Sunday, Oct. 26, 27 and 28 at Herricks Community Center Theatre at 999 Herricks Road in New Hyde Park. Tickets are $25. Let’s face it that’s a whole lot cheaper than paying for 45 minutes on the analyst’s couch. And a lot more fun too.
