Special Screening- RIVER

Celebrate Earth Day with Montclair Film and The Nature Conservancy!
Throughout history, rivers have shaped our landscapes and our journeys; flowed through our cultures and dreams. RIVER takes its audience on a journey through space and time; spanning six continents, and drawing on extraordinary contemporary cinematography, including satellite filming, the film shows rivers on scales and from perspectives never seen before. Its union of image, music and sparse, poetic script create a film that is both dream-like and powerful, honoring the wildness of rivers but also recognizing their vulnerability.
New Jersey’s Rivers” panel discussion with The Nature Conservancy’s Beth Styler Barry, New Jersey Director of Freshwater Programs and Michelle DiBlasio, New Jersey Freshwater Restoration Manager, immediately follows the film. All guests in attendance will receive a reusable tote courtesy of The Nature Conservancy.
Presented in Partnership with The Nature Conservancy. Reservations / registration required by 04/22/2025. For more info: https://theclairidge.org/events/river/, info@theclairidge.org. $15 Regular

1 Normal Ave, Montclair, NJ 07043. 7:00 PM. Grammy-winning multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter Meshell Ndegeocello pays musical tribute to her literary hero, author James Baldwin, with her latest show, No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin. The New York Times said it is “an expansive, adventurous piece that turns Baldwin into an organizing principle but also features the thinking of Audre Lorde and calls-to arms from the poet Staceyann Chin that leave a third-degree burn… it’s some of the most hauntingly, melodically beautifully work she’s made —intelligent, sincere, funny, enraged, queer, sexy, intensely pleasing music.”
