Boondocks Film Society Present Noah Baumbach’s KICKING AND SCREAMING. Whether it’s sheepishly admitting to wearing a pajama top to a graduation party, or failing (twice!) to do his reading in a two-person book club, or fretting over a second interview at a video store, Jacott’s Otis is the embodiment of the film’s antsy, neurotic take on crossing the threshold into adulthood.
But don’t you hesitate in getting your tickets to this event! This is a movie that will stay with you long after our Sat. The 14th showtime! Reserve your spot now, join us for this special film and hear from one of its stars, Chris Eigeman!
Our pre-film festivities will also include a soundtrack-inspired performance from super-talented Hudson Valley singer-songwriter Holland Belle!

Meet Service Dogs & Greet Puppies-in-Training! In-Person
Have you ever seen a highly trained service dog in action? Learn what they can do!
Meet a handsome hero and some puppies who are just taking their first steps toward service.
You’ll also learn about ECAD’s (Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities) volunteer opportunities, including the puppy weekend-fostering program.
Service dogs can transform the lives of people with disabilities. ECAD Puppy Instructor Christina Canaletich will show you how Labradors and Golden Retrievers trained in Northwestern Connecticut help keep clients mobile, safe, and independent.
ECAD (Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities) is non-profit organization in Winchester that provides hundreds of hours of training to dogs that assist children and adults who need help with mobility, PTSD, autism, and a wide range of medical issues. During this presentation, we’ll learn how ECAD dogs are trained to wear a balance harness, retrieve medical bags, open automatic doors, and many more assistive and safety services. Learn more about ECAD’s work at their website.
Registration is required. Please use the link below. All ages are welcome to attend.
