SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon at the Movies
DESCRIPTION:Members & guests–free \nEvery Saturday afternoon\, join fellow film aficionados of the Village for an in-depth organic discussion of films new and old. Watch the selected film any time–or enjoy the discussion and be persuaded to view it after! \nHamnet: 2025\, 122min\, streamable on Amazon & others for $10-20\n\nThe Oscars are Sun\, 3/15/26\, and Jesse Buckley (Lost Daughter\, Wild Rose) is the favorite to win best actress. Hamnet is also nominated for 7 other Oscars\, including best picture\, director (Chloe Zhao\, Nomadland)\, and screenplay. As Rotten Tomatoes describes\, it tells the powerful story of love and loss that inspired the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece\, Hamlet.\n\nContinuing our discussion of the live action shortTwo People Exchanging Saliva\, here’s a link to an explanation. Summed up\, it’s a futuristic Paris where “violence is normalised and intimacy is absent.” https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2025/11/22/two-people-exchanging-saliva/

SUMMARY:"Wired Wisdom: How to Age Better Online” with author John Palfrey
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chicago Area Villages Collaborative for a moderated discussion with John Palfrey\, co-author of Wired Wisdom: How to Age Better Online. \nWired Wisdom is an eye-opening book on the internet’s fastest-growing demographic\, researchers Eszter Hargittai and John Palfrey offer a more nuanced picture—debunking common myths about older adults’ internet use to offer hope and a necessary call to action. Incorporating original interviews and survey results from thousands of people sixty and over\, Wired Wisdom shows that many\, in fact\, use technology in ways that put younger peers to shame. Over-sixties are often nimble online and quicker to abandon social media platforms that don’t meet their needs. Despite being targeted more often\, they also may be less likely to fall for scams than younger peers. And fake news actually fools fewer people over sixty\, who have far more experience evaluating sources and detecting propaganda. Still\, there are unseen risks and missed opportunities for this group. Hargittai and Palfrey offer practical advice and show that our stereotypes can be hurdles that keep us from building intergenerational support communities\, helping loved ones adopt new technology that may improve their lives\, and thriving together online. \nReceive 30% off your book purchase from University of Chicago Press with code: UCPNEW \nJohn Palfrey is president of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. He is the author or coauthor of several books\, including Born Digital: How Children Grow Up in a Digital Age and The Connected Parent: An Expert Guide to Parenting in a Digital World. He is based in Chicago. \n \nWhat is the Chicago Area Villages Collaborative? \nThere are eight “Villages” in the Chicago area\, all part of the International Village Movement—grassroots organizations of older adults designed to help people age and thrive in their communities.
