Bushel, 106 Main Street, Delhi, will host an evening of films selected by Angela Dufresne, curator of Bushel’s current exhibition, “Fiery Fodder” Friday, Dec. 15, Doors at 6:45 p.m.; screening begins at 7. This program is free and open to the public.
The program begins with three short films by artists in the exhibition: It depends on what you mean (Kerry Downey, 2023); Johnny Seagull, Johnny Clyde (Wells Chandler, 2009); and My Mother: Artist and Teacher (Linda Mary Montano, 2016).
The program continues with a screening of Call Her Applebroog, a feature-length documentary film by director Beth B. Released in 2016, this film is Beth B’s intimate and complex portrait of her mother, acclaimed New York–based artist Ida Applebroog. Raised Orthodox in the Bronx, Applebroog is unsentimentally and adoringly captured here by her daughter Beth B. The film is at times mischievous, but reverent throughout. The film delves into many of the themes that loom in the exhibition “Fiery Fodder,” on view at Bushel through Jan. 14, 2024.
This screening is part of Bushel’s Community Film Picks, a once-a-month film night at Bushel on third Fridays at 7 p.m. BUSHEL is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit, volunteer-led, mixed-use space dedicated to art, agriculture, ecology, and action. For more information, go to www.bushelcollective.org
