SUMMARY:Queer Excellence in Cinema: Polyester
DESCRIPTION:What better closer for a series celebrating queer artistry than John Waters! Hailed as the crown prince of filth\, the grand guncle of sleaze\, the King AND Queen of Baltimore\, ever may he reign! As representative of this legendary directors ouvre we’re going with the middle period work\, Polyester. His first studio picture after a string of punk shockers\, Polyester retains his outrageous wit and transgressive sensibilities and add 50’s heartthrob Tab Hunter to his roster of Dreamlanders (showcased here are Mink Stole\, Edith Massey and\, of course\, Divine!) Divine plays maltreated housewife Francine Fishpaw in this hilarious send-up of melodramas. In Odorama no less!

SUMMARY:Preventing Elder Fraud
DESCRIPTION:Nikolas Kerest\, the United States Attorney for the District of Vermont\, with representatives from federal investigative agencies\, will speak about the latest trends in elder fraud\, tell-tale signs of financial fraud\, and ways to prevent becoming a victim of fraud. Over 10 percent of older Americans experience some type of elder abuse each year\, and law enforcement is often on the front lines dealing with these cases\, many of which involve financial fraud.

SUMMARY:Queer Excellence in Cinema: But I'm a Cheerleader
DESCRIPTION:Next in our series celebrating queer artistry is Jamie Babbit’s But I’m a Cheerleader\, the campy sleeper hit of 1999\, whose cult appeal has only grown overtime. Made from a femme lesbian perspective\, deeply satirizing the church\, and featuring an all-star cast of character–actors including RuPaul\, Mink Stole\, Bud Cort and Natasha Lyonne in an early lead role. This gay-teens-find-love-in-conversion-therapy is subversive comedy gold!

SUMMARY:Jack Mayer Author Talk: How Did Germany's Weimar Republic Become the Third Reich?
DESCRIPTION:Defeated\, humiliated\, and in chaos\, Germany after World War I was imperiled by leftist revolution and right-wing violence. Jack Mayer recounts the origins of the Third Reich through the story of Ernst Werner Techow\, a member of the para-military Free Corps and the murderous Organization C\, who was recruited into a clandestine assassination network trying to bring down the fledgling Weimar democracy. Techow participated in the 1922 murder of Foreign Minister Walther Rathenau\, the highest-ranking Jew in the Weimar Republic. But an offer of forgiveness while on trial for his life set him on a complex journey of redemption. Author Jack Mayer based his novel Before the Court of Heaven (our Tuesday Night Book Club pick this month) on this thrilling true tale. This talk brought to us by the Vermont Humanities Council.
