Sorry Manhattan lovers\, but the fim is pretty politically incorrect with Woody Allen dating a 17-year old. Let’s not promote it.\n\nStill celebrating Diane Keaton. By day\, Theresa (Keaton) teaches deaf children. By night\, she hangs out in bars and meets men. A gritty look at the 1970s’ bar scene. Is it accurate? Several critics thought Keaton should have received her Oscar for this film instead of Annie Hall\, which came out the same year (and is now in AMC theaters). Two very different characters. Also with Tuesday Wells (Oscar nominated)\, Richard Gere\, & Tom Berring

SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon at the Movies
DESCRIPTION:Members & guests–free \nAvailable to rent for $5.99 on Amazon \n\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! \n\nThis week’s movie is: The Life of Chuck: 2025\, 1hr 50min\, R.T. 80%\n\nFrom the Stephen King short story of the same name\, the film tells the story of Chuck’s life in three parts: the very end; one day in the middle; and a stint from his teenage years. His life\, like most of ours\, is simple and extraordinary. A line from Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself–“I contain multitudes” (stanza 51)–is repeated several times. Film critics’ most used word describing the film is “magical.” Do you agree? Don’t be afraid to watch it again when you’re done.

He and his new students have much to learn about each other\, including that the boys are exceptionally talented\, but more than just raw talent\, their strong family ties\, incredible work ethic\, and commitment to the team all drive them to success. A great sports/highschool film based on a true story. Some Village members said they cried when watching.\n\n

SUMMARY:Examining Emerging Uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Dementia Care
DESCRIPTION:Online registration is now closed for this event. Please call 773-248-8700 to register. Thank you. \nLocation: via Zoom \nMembers & guests: Free \nAI is becoming integrated into products for all stages of our lives\, including products for the care of people living with dementia. In this talk presented by Carolyn Woodruff\, we will discuss some of the categories where AI products are being introduced and will look at the needs that these technologies seek to address for both people living with dementia and their care partners. We will also touch on some of the potential risks they pose regarding privacy\, bias\, and accessibility. \n  \n \nCarolyn is currently a postgraduate social work fellow at the Mesulam Institute for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease. She received her master’s in social work at the University of Chicago in 2024. Prior to moving to Chicago\, Carolyn lived in Philadelphia where she worked in legal aid focused on the intersection of rental housing and domestic violence after completing her undergraduate degree in English with a minor in Statistics. She has long held an interest in the ways that algorithms and data can be used in ways that both harm and help.

Nominated for a record 14 Academy Awards\, it won for best picture\, best director\, best screenplay\, best costume\, and best supporting actor for George Sanders.

SUMMARY:Crossing the Bridge
DESCRIPTION:Location: via Zoom\nMembers & guests: free.\n\nDeath Cafe has evolved! Crossing the Bridge is a safe space to share personal feelings about death as we support and learn from each other. In addition to exploring our own thoughts\, we talk about books\, films\, legislative developments\, organizations\, and other topics related to death and dying. All are welcome! \n\nFor August\, host Gloria St John will be sharing a special presentation on Sacred Thresholds. \nSACRED THRESHOLD: A Guide to Creating Sacred Time and Space for the Dying\n“Sacred” – worthy of awe and respect\n“Thresholds” – points of spiritual transition where time seems to stand still\nSacred Threshold is a guide to creating a sacred environment for dying whether at\nhome or in the hospital. The idea of the sacred is larger than\, and separate from\,\nreligion\, although the two ideas have been confused\, with the result that the\nsacred has been systematically excluded from ordinary culture. Most end of life\npreparation focuses on legal and medical preparation with little thought given to\nthe actual final time. Sacred Threshold shows how the weeks\, days\, and hours of\none’s death can be transformed into a more meaningful experience with\nintention and the use of ordinary objects that soothe the senses. Although this\nmay not be desired by or possible for everyone\, for those who want it\, Sacred\nThreshold makes it easy to prepare for this experience\, whether one’s own or\nanother’s. Join Gloria St John in this clear and motivating PowerPoint\npresentation. \n\n
