SUMMARY:Oppenheimer & Shippingport\, PA: WWII’s Atomic Era Made Global History in Our Backyard
DESCRIPTION:Headlines carry the widely known fact that people around the globe are flocking to theaters for this summer’s smash film\, Oppenheimer. But theatergoers might not know that more than 1\,200 local and international dignitaries flocked to Shippingport\, Beaver County\, nearly 70 years ago for the groundbreaking ceremony for the world’s first commercial atomic power plant. \n\n\n\nThose who have or want to watch Oppenheimer or simply to learn more about the region’s role in atomic history can hear a local expert at the Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center on Sunday\, Aug. 6.  \n\n\n\nAfter J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team cracked the life-altering code of atomic fission\, ending World War II\, General-turned-President Dwight D. Eisenhower inaugurated the Atoms for Peace program to make civilian use of atomic power.  \n\n\n\nThus\, the Shippingport Atomic Power Station came to pilot the world’s first commercial use of this technology near the banks of the Ohio River\, forever altering life in the bucolic Beaver County town of farms and ferry boats—and around the globe. Built under a politically sensitive deadline and the exacting oversight of Adm. Hyman Rickover\, who led the Navy’s nuclear submarine program\, Shippingport Atomic Power Station was online from 1958-1982\, leading to next-generation nuclear plants like Beaver Valley 1 and 2. \n\n\n\nConnections between the smash film and local history will be fleshed out on Sunday\, Aug. 6\, promptly at 2:30 p.m. at a free\, 15-minute presentation by Jim Clark\, a current nuclear operator at the Beaver Valley Power Station and docent at the Beaver County Industrial Museum\, before The Lindsay’s afternoon screening of Oppenheimer. \n\n\n\nIn addition to the free talk\, The Lindsay is exhibiting a pictorial history of the construction of the power plant\, on loan from the Beaver County Industrial Museum.

SUMMARY:Vertigo
DESCRIPTION:Click for Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPG | 2h 8m| Mystery/Romance/ThrillerDirector: Alfred HitchcockStars: Jimmy Stewart\, Kim Novak\, Barbara Bel Geddes \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRanked as the No.1 greatest film ever made in a much-talked-about 2012 poll conducted by the British Film Institute’s magazine Sight and Sound\, Vertigo is “classic (Alfred) Hitchcock—suspense\, mystery\, romance\, all wrapped around twisted human psychology\,” says Big Think. \n\n\n\nIndiana\, PA\, native Jimmy Stewart plays Scottie Ferguson\, a private detective terrified of heights who retired from the police force after a tragic incident. He is hired by an old friend to tail his wife\, who is suspected to be suicidal. Scottie develops a relationship with this mysterious woman that turns into obsession. \n\n\n\nLegendary director Martin Scorsese\, writing in The Guardian\, says\, “It’s difficult to put into words exactly what Vertigo means to me as both a film lover and as a film-maker. As is the case with all great films\, truly great films\, no matter how much has been said and written about them\, the dialogue about it will always continue. Because any film as great as Vertigo demands more than just a sense of admiration—it demands a personal response.” \n\n\n\nThe New York Times calls the film “brilliantly schematic\, endlessly fascinating…this prescient 1958 spellbinder can now be admired as the deepest\, darkest masterpiece of Hitchcock’s career.”

SUMMARY:I\, Claude Monet

Shot on the locations where Monet lived and worked\, including his Giverny garden\, the documentary features his most loved paintings in an unforgettable\, immersive art experience. \n\n\n\nI\, Claude Monet\, an “elegantly made and thoroughly informative” documentary paints “a portrait of an artist who withstood his fair share of privation and discouragement—the passages around the birth of his children and death of his first wife are particularly tough—but who displayed an unswerving commitment to his work\,” says The Guardian. \n\n\n\n“This is a must-see film for art lovers and a compelling one for students of history\,” Eye for Film continues. “It offers what the artist valued most: illumination.”

SUMMARY:Hairspray
DESCRIPTION:Click for Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPG | 1h 32m| Comedy/DramaDirector: John WatersStars: Sonny Bono\, Ricki Lake\, Divine \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCome for the big hair\, the dance numbers and the ’60s nostalgia. Stay for a heartwarming story about acceptance and overcoming racial barriers. \n\n\n\nTracy Turnblad is an overweight Baltimore high school student who loves watching local teen dance program The Corky Collins Show. When Tracy is spotted at a record hop by Corky\, she is invited to join his show—which is segregated. Her slick dance moves make her the star of the show\, and she uses her newfound fame to advocate for integration. \n\n\n\n“Controversial filmmaker John Waters finally hits his commercial stride in this film\, parlaying his keen social observation and great compassion for society’s outsiders into a colorful and engaging comedy full of dancing\, music and heartfelt nostalgia\,” says TV Guide. The sweet and upbeat Hairspray was a big departure for Waters\, previously know for making X-rated cult films. \n\n\n\nWaters told the Los Angeles Times that when he put out a call for an overweight teenager to play Tracy\, almost no one showed up. “Thank God\, one of them was Ricki Lake\,” he said. “But Ricki would have gotten the part even if thousands of them showed up.” \n\n\n\n“Tracy became the poster child for anyone who felt like an outcast\, who didn’t fit in\,” Lake told the Times. “I mean\, she’s a superhero for so many young girls. I love that her spirit and the character has lived on.” \n\n\n\nThe New York Times declares “the overall mood of Hairspray is so joyful\, so full of unforced enthusiasm\, that only the most ferocious cynic could resist it. It imagines a world where no one is an outsider and no one is a square\, and invites everyone in. How can you refuse?”
