Talk | World Trade Center: The Story from Fresh Kills


With Martin Bellew. From the start of the city's response to the World Trade Center attacks, the Department of Sanitation was a key agency in transporting the wreckage, working with federal, state, and other city agencies to coordinate the search and investigation effort, and in finding the right place for Trade Center material when the search and investigation were completed. This talk focuses on the work of the DSNY in those months immediately after September 11, 2001. It is illustrated with images that document the process as it evolved from Ground Zero to the Fresh Kills landfill during the ten months following the attacks.

Screening | Czech Comedy: Václav Vorlíček's Who Wants to Kill Jessie? (1966)


In this trippy but charming comedy, a well-respected scientist creates a formula that can remove elements from dreams. But, what she doesn't know is that these dream images can manifest themselves in the real world. When she injects her husband with the formula, his dreams of Jessie—the blonde, voluptuous heroine of the comic strip "Who Wants to Kill Jessie?"—come crashing into their lives. Following closely behind are the two men chasing her—a muscle-bound superhero and a gun-toting cowboy. The trio not only causes serious damage around Prague, but they still talk in comic-strip word balloons, which get in everyone’s way. 81 min. In Czech with English subtitles.
