Documentary Screenings New York

[Register here](https://plantpoweredmetrony.app.neoncrm.com/nx/portal/neonevents/events?path=%2Fportal%2Fevents%2F52995)! Join Plant Powered Metro New York for a home-hosted gathering and community screening of [All The World is Green](https://www.journeyman.tv/film/9077/all-the-world-is-green). This 2026 documentary explores the evolution of the global food system and the impact of our food choices on human health, animals, and the environment. Featuring insights from leading scientists, physicians, environmental experts, and advocates, the film examines the role of animal agriculture in today’s most pressing global challenges while highlighting how plant-powered eating can lead to a healthier, more sustainable future. After the film, we’ll open the floor for a group discussion to share reflections and takeaways. Guests are invited to bring a light snack to share as we mix and mingle before the screening. In the spirit of the film, bring a dish made only with whole plant foods — whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Please, no animal-based foods, vegan processed foods, white flours, or added oils, and we ask you to minimize added sweeteners and salt. *Not sure what to bring? Reach out to info@ppmny.org for simple dish ideas or explore recipes via our website at ppmny.org/recipes.* *Hosted by Irene and Ron Rizzo. This event may take place outdoors, if weather permits.*

The Wisdom Bar – "Sex, Crime, Gender: Hollywood and the Rise of Censorship"

Thu, Aug 27, 10:30 PM

From NYC Social Lectures & Discussion Nights

Expert-led lectures in bars and creative spaces across NYC. 💭 Topic: "Sex, Crime, and Gender Norms: Pre-Code Hollywood and the Rise of Censorship" 🎤 Lecturer: Matt Johnson 📆 Date: Wednesday, August 27th ⏰ Doors Open: 5:30PM 📍 Location: Tribeca, Manhattan 🍻 Craft Beer and Snacks Included with Ticket Purchase! 🎟️ This is a ticketed event, purchase here: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-wisdom-bar-sex-crime-gender-hollywood-and-the-rise-of-censorship-tickets-1995718103571](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-wisdom-bar-sex-crime-gender-hollywood-and-the-rise-of-censorship-tickets-1995718103571) 🎟️ 🤝 A little about us: Wisdom Bar is a social lecture series hosted in cool bars and creative spaces throughout New York City. Each event features a presentation from an expert speaker whose passion for a unique topic guides the room. We'll explore new ideas, exchange perspectives, and learn something new along the way, all in an effort to get curious-minded people together for drinks and thoughtful conversation. If this sounds like something you might enjoy, we'd love to host you. Here's what you need to know! We will begin with a short introduction and a film screening of the 1933 film *Design for Living*. After the screening, Matt Johnson will walk us through how the film is an insight into censorship. Most people think of film history as a straight line — movies started out conservative and gradually pushed toward the sex and violence of today's blockbusters. That's not what happened. Early Hollywood talkies were surprisingly bold. Frank depictions of sexuality, violence, and gender norms played out on screen at a moment of real cultural upheaval in America. It was freewheeling, daring, and genuinely revolutionary — until religious authorities, alarmed by what they called "filth" in America's mass media, began pushing back. Hard. The result was a self-imposed Hollywood Code that would reshape what American audiences were allowed to see for decades. Sound familiar? America is currently in the middle of a strikingly similar cultural battle — book bans, library defunding, and political pressure on broadcasters are reshaping what people can access right now. Film historian Matt Johnson traces the arc from Pre-Code Hollywood to the rise of censorship — and makes the case that attempts to silence artistic output almost always produce something more subversive and more clever in return. **Matt Johnson** teaches film theory and history at Franklin and Marshall College, where he is also a Fellow coordinating work in refugee resettlement and the question of welcome. He brings the same intellectual rigor and genuine curiosity to the history of Hollywood that he does to the most pressing questions of our time. We'll explore: * The surprisingly bold and daring films that existed before Hollywood self-censorship — and why they matter * How religious, political, and cultural forces converged to impose the Hollywood Code * Ernst Lubitsch and the "Lubitsch Touch" — how European filmmaking influenced and challenged Hollywood norms * Why America has been here before — and what the history of censorship tells us about the cultural battles happening right now * How artists have historically defeated censorship — and what that looks like today This might be for you if you... * Are a film lover, a casual moviegoer, or just someone who's been paying attention to what's happening in American culture right now * Are curious about how history repeats itself — and what we can learn from the last time we were here * Enjoy lecture-based and conversation-focused events of any kind — think Ted Talks in bars, Lectures on Tap, or micro learning meets dinner party * Want to switch up your usual weeknight. Why not make it interesting? 🤓

Our group will enjoy a docent-led tour through three stories of the Society’s historic Fifth Avenue townhouse, including the lobby, exhibition spaces, and architectural highlights of the building. Along the way, we will learn about the history of the mansion, the founding and mission of the American Irish Historical Society, and its important role in preserving and celebrating Irish-American history and culture. The centerpiece of our visit will be the current exhibition: ## 👑 *Grace Kelly: Drumiltra’s Irish-American Princess* Before becoming Princess Grace of Monaco, Grace Kelly was one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actresses and an enduring symbol of elegance, beauty, and American sophistication. What is less frequently explored is the importance of her Irish-American heritage. This exhibition examines Grace Kelly’s deep family connection to Ireland and the ways in which her Irish roots remained part of her identity throughout her extraordinary life. The title of the exhibition refers to **Drumiltra**, the Kelly family’s ancestral home in Ireland. Through photographs, historical materials, and interpretive displays, the exhibition traces Grace Kelly’s journey from Philadelphia to Hollywood, from Hollywood to Monaco, and from American movie star to European royalty. It also explores how she continued to maintain a meaningful connection with Ireland and her family’s ancestral homeland. ## 🏛️ What Our Private Tour Will Include Our docent-led visit will include: * The architecture and history of the Society’s Fifth Avenue mansion * The origins and mission of the American Irish Historical Society * A guided walk through three stories of the building * The story of Grace Kelly’s Irish-American family background * Her rise from Hollywood actress to Princess of Monaco * Her relationship with Ireland and her ancestral heritage * Time after the tour to explore the exhibition more closely * An opportunity to ask questions of the Society’s staff This event offers a wonderful combination of: 🎬 **Hollywood history** 👑 **Royal history** ☘️ **Irish-American heritage** 🏛️ **New York architecture** 📚 **Cultural history** It should be a fascinating and elegant morning inside one of Fifth Avenue’s most distinctive historic institutions. *** # 📅 Event Information **Date:** Tuesday, August 18, 2026 **Time:** 11:00 AM–12:00 PM \* **Location:** American Irish Historical Society **Admission:** $12.50 per person **Format:** Private docent-led group tour **Tour Length:** Approximately one hour \* **Note**: You will have time after the tour to explore the Historical Society more closely *** # ⚠️ Important Attendance Information This is a privately arranged group tour with limited capacity. Please register only if you are fully committed to attending. Your reservation holds a place that another member may otherwise be unable to obtain. The tour will involve walking through three stories of the building. Additional accessibility information will be posted once confirmed by the Society. Please arrive at least **10–15 minutes early** at (**10:45 AM-10:50 AM**) as our group must be assembled and ready to begin promptly at **11:00 AM**. Late arrivals may miss part of the tour and may not be able to join the group once the docent-led visit has begun. *** # 💳 Payment and Cancellation Policy The admission price is **$12.50 per person**. Final payment instructions, cancellation terms, and any registration deadline will be posted once the reservation arrangements are confirmed with the American Irish Historical Society. Because this is a privately scheduled event, payments should be considered nonrefundable unless otherwise stated. *** # ✨ A Special Private Experience This is not simply an exhibition visit. It is an opportunity to enter a historic Fifth Avenue mansion, learn about one of America’s most famous actresses and princesses, and explore the Irish-American heritage that remained an important part of Grace Kelly’s remarkable life. We hope you will join us for this distinctive and memorable private tour.

LET'S GO TO: THE HOROLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK

Tue, Sep 1, 3:00 PM

From Exploring NYC History and Neighborhoods

# ⏰ LET'S GO — Inside the Horological Society of New York ## An Exclusive Private Tour of One of New York City's Hidden Treasures 🗓 **Tuesday\, September 1\, 2026 \| 11:00 AM** 📍 **Horological Society of New York** 20 West 44th Street New York, NY 10036 👥 **Maximum Attendance: 20 Members** 💵 **FREE for Members** 🔒 **A Private Tour Reserved Exclusively for the New York City Art, Film, Museum, Social Club** *** ## ✨ A Rare Opportunity Few New Yorkers Ever Experience Hidden inside an elegant Midtown Manhattan townhouse is one of New York City's oldest and most fascinating institutions—the **Horological Society of New York**. Founded in **1866**, it is America's oldest continuously operating horological organization and one of the world's foremost centers dedicated to the history, education, preservation, and craftsmanship of clocks and watches. Unlike a traditional museum visit, **our group has been invited for a private guided tour**, offering members an opportunity that very few people ever experience. *** ## ⌚ More Than Just Watches... What exactly is **Horology**? Horology is the art, science, history, engineering, and craftsmanship of measuring time. Long before smartphones and digital clocks, master craftsmen spent centuries perfecting extraordinary mechanical inventions capable of measuring time with astonishing accuracy. Behind every fine mechanical watch lies a miniature world of gears, springs, escapements, balance wheels, jewels, and precision engineering—many assembled entirely by hand. During our private visit, we'll discover how these remarkable creations evolved over hundreds of years into some of the most intricate mechanical devices ever built. *** ## 🕰️ During Our Private Tour We'll Explore... ✔️ The fascinating history of clocks and watches through the centuries. ✔️ Beautiful examples of mechanical timepieces and the engineering behind them. ✔️ The Society's remarkable headquarters and internationally respected horological library. ✔️ How watchmakers became some of history's greatest craftsmen and engineers. ✔️ Why New York became an important center for horological education. *** ## 🌟 Why This Event Is Special This is **not** simply a museum visit. It is a private invitation into an institution that most New Yorkers have never heard of and will likely never have the opportunity to visit. Experiences like this have become the hallmark of our Meetup group—exclusive cultural opportunities that go far beyond the typical museum tour. If you enjoy history, craftsmanship, engineering, design, decorative arts, science, or simply discovering hidden places that few people ever see, this promises to be one of our most unique events of the year. *** ## ⏳ Attendance Is Strictly Limited Because of the intimate nature of this private visit, **attendance is limited to just 20 members.** Once the event reaches capacity, additional members will be placed on a waitlist. We expect this exclusive opportunity to fill quickly, so early registration is encouraged.
