Join the Rivertown Film Society for a screening of American River, a documentary film following writer Mary Bruno, who grew up along the Passaic River, and embarked on a 4-day, 80-mile kayaking adventure navigating the twists and turns of the Passaic River, with filmmaker Scott Morris and river-guide Carl Alderson. Together they paddle from the river’s pristine source in a wildlife refuge, through Paterson’s great falls, past Mary’s hometown, and on to its end in Newark Bay. The river’s amazing history, geology, and ecology are revealed as the kayakers navigate its challenges, travel through urban landscapes, and head toward the industrial disaster that has poisoned the Passaic for the past 60 years. Along the way, they engage residents, historians, and advocates in candid conversations that bring insight, urgency, and a sense of wonder to the story. How did the Passaic become one of the most contaminated rivers in America? Can it be saved? The Passaic is an archetype for thousands of rivers across America facing similar reckonings.
Following the screening, environmental attorney and filmmaker Susan Shapiro will moderate a discussion with American River’s filmmaker Scott Morris and river guide Carl Alderson.

THE KENNEDYS

The Kennedys — Pete and Maura — have been recognized frequently for their harmonies and instrumental prowess. Their music blends elements of country, bluegrass, Western swing and janglepop. When performing live, Pete plays acoustic and electric guitars, an electric sitar, bass, mandolin, and ukulele, while Maura plays acoustic and electric guitars and ukulele.
They have performed in clubs and theatres throughout the United States and Ireland. Their Half a Million Miles CD celebrated Pete and Maura’s first decade of married life and their first 500,000 tour miles as increasingly beloved purveyors of an exuberant blend of lively musical genres.
Pete Kennedy’s debut novel Floodwood is a mixture of fantasy and mythology which will appeal to area residents as it includes a werewolf running loose in suburban Westchester County (NY)!
Oh Hudson! is a rich multi-arts celebration of the history, people, and promise of the Hudson River Valley. Drawing on the music of Pete Seeger, old river tunes, and new original songs, this collaboration project will make your feet stomp and your heart open to the beauty of the Hudson River.
David Gonzalez is a nationally celebrated storyteller and poet with a gift of lifting the spoken word to the highest artistic heights. He is a Fellow of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, and was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for “Unique Theatrical Experience.”
Genre busting duo Koehler & Kelly blend the raw energy of traditional fiddling with the nuanced lyricism of jazz piano. Gretchen Koehler’s left hand has an Irish brogue and her bow arm provides a distinct Old Time drive, while her feet hammer out accompaniment on the floorboards in typical Quebecois style. TIME Magazine calls Koehler “astonishingly good.” Award-winning pianist and composer Daniel Kelly blends jazz, classical, and folk music into his signature sound. Time Out New York declares Kelly “powerfully moving.” In concert, they spark an innovative musical conversation while celebrating a deep respect for folk music traditions.
