Special screening - Lady Liberty, Secrets of an Icon

A film by **Gedeon** **Programmes** made for **PBS et ARTE** Directed by **Julien Johan** Running Time: **90 mins** **In French with English subtitles. [Free with RSVP.](https://culturalcenter.lfny.org/event/lady-liberty/)** Visionary artist and skilled self-promoter, **Bartholdi** pioneered inventive fundraising campaigns in France and the United States, an early form of crowdfunding, to finance the **Statue of Liberty**. The film traces his transatlantic journeys, the statue’s gradual creation, and the powerful symbolism it carried at its inauguration in October 1886. Alongside Bartholdi, it highlights key figures such as Édouard de Laboulaye, who conceived the idea of the gift, and Joseph Pulitzer, whose press campaign mobilized public support to complete the funding.

🏙️ LET’S GO — INSIDE THE TENEMENTS OF OLD NEW YORK!

## A PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: TWO IMMIGRANT FAMILIES UNDER ONE ROOF 🗓️ **Saturday\, October 24\, 2026 \| 12:15 PM–1:30 PM** 📍 **Tenement Museum** 103 Orchard Street New York, NY 10002 👥 **EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE GROUP — STRICTLY LIMITED TO 15 MEMBERS** 💵 **SPECIAL SOCIAL CLUB PRICE IS: ONLY $25 PER PERSON!** ### ⭐ OUR MEMBERS SAVE $8 PER PERSON! *** # 🏠 STEP INSIDE 97 ORCHARD STREET Imagine walking through the front door of a Lower East Side tenement and stepping into the lives of the immigrant families who once called it home. Not famous people. Not wealthy New Yorkers. But ordinary families who came to America searching for opportunity—and built their lives inside crowded tenement buildings like **97 Orchard Street**. For this very special Social Club event, we have arranged a **private 75-minute guided tour exclusively for only 15 of our members** at the renowned Tenement Museum. We’ll explore the remarkable stories of **two immigrant families who lived at the same address during two different chapters of New York City history.** *** # 🇮🇹 THE BALDIZZIS ## AN ITALIAN IMMIGRANT FAMILY Years later, another immigrant family would make its home at the same address. The **Baldizzi family**, immigrants from Sicily, arrived during a very different period in American history. Their story introduces us to another chapter of immigration—the challenges of finding work and housing, raising a family, maintaining cherished traditions, and building a new life in America. Despite their different backgrounds and the different periods in which they arrived, the Rogarshevskys and Baldizzis shared many of the same hopes, hardships, and dreams. # ✡️ THE ROGARSHEVSKYS ## A JEWISH IMMIGRANT FAMILY The Rogarshevsky family came to New York from Eastern Europe and made their home at **97 Orchard Street** during the early years of the 20th century. They arrived during an extraordinary period when unprecedented numbers of immigrants were coming to New York City. The Lower East Side became one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the world. Within these tenement walls, families lived, worked, cooked, celebrated, struggled, worshipped, and raised their children. Through the Rogarshevskys’ story, we’ll explore the experience of Jewish immigrants building new lives in New York while navigating work, family, religion, community, and the rapidly changing city around them. *** # 🍽️ NEIGHBORS, FOOD, FAMILY & SURVIVAL This tour isn’t simply about dates and historical events. It is about **how people actually lived.** We’ll hear stories involving: 🍽️ **Shared meals** 🤝 **Neighbors helping neighbors** 🏠 **Tenement housing** 🧵 **Work and factories** 🗽 **Immigration** 📜 **Immigration status and government policy** 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 **Family and community** We’ll explore how ordinary immigrant families relied upon one another while New York—and America’s attitudes toward immigration—were changing around them. *** # 🏛️ WHY THE TENEMENT MUSEUM IS DIFFERENT The Tenement Museum isn’t a traditional museum filled with display cases. ## **THE BUILDING IS THE MUSEUM.** We’ll enter historic tenement spaces where generations of immigrants actually lived and experience their stories within the surroundings in which their lives unfolded. That is what makes the Tenement Museum such an unusual and moving New York experience. You’re not simply reading about immigration history. ## **YOU’RE STANDING INSIDE IT.** *** # 🔐 THIS IS A PRIVATE SOCIAL CLUB TOUR! This is particularly important: ## **WE ARE NOT SIMPLY JOINING A REGULAR PUBLIC TOUR.** I have reserved a **private 75-minute guided experience exclusively for our New York City Art, Film, Museum, Social Club.** Our group will be: # **STRICTLY LIMITED TO ONLY 15 MEMBERS!** This intimate group size will allow everyone to hear our guide, ask questions, and experience the historic apartments without being part of a large public crowd. *** # 💵 SPECIAL SOCIAL CLUB PRICE — ONLY $25! I am particularly pleased with the special price we can offer our members. Regular Tenement Museum admission for this experience is: ### OUR SPECIAL SOCIAL CLUB PRICE: # **ONLY $25 PER MEMBER!** Regular Admission is: $33. That is an **$8 savings per person—nearly 25% off the regular price!** Your $25 includes: ✅ **Museum admission** ✅ **Our private 75-minute guided tour** ✅ **An exclusive Social Club group of no more than 15 members** ✅ **All applicable tour costs** ✅ **10% Discount at the Tenement Museum Store** *** # ⏰ OUR SCHEDULE ### 🕛 12:00 PM — PLEASE ARRIVE Please arrive approximately **15 minutes early** so our group can assemble and check in together. ### 🚪 12:15 PM — PRIVATE TOUR BEGINS PROMPTLY Our 75-minute private guided experience begins. ### 🕜 1:30 PM — TOUR CONCLUDES *** # ⚠️ IMPORTANT ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION Because this is an authentic historic tenement building, **there is no elevator access to the historic apartments.** This particular tour involves approximately: # **50 STEPS UP AND DOWN** Please take this into consideration before registering. *** # 🎟️ ONLY 15 SPOTS AVAILABLE! Because this is a private experience with an extremely limited capacity, **please RSVP only if you are committed to attending.** Once our 15 spaces have been reserved, the event will be sold out. With such a small group, every reservation matters! *** # ❤️ THE STORY OF NEW YORK IS THE STORY OF IMMIGRATION Jewish immigrants. Italian immigrants. Different countries. Different languages. Different traditions. Different generations. But beneath those differences were many of the same dreams: ## **A HOME. A JOB. A FAMILY. A COMMUNITY.** ## **AND THE HOPE OF BUILDING A BETTER LIFE.** On October 24, we’ll step inside the rooms where those lives were actually lived—and hear the stories of two families who became part of the enormous human story that created modern New York City. # 🏙️ I HOPE YOU’LL JOIN US FOR THIS VERY SPECIAL PRIVATE TOUR!

MFF: 14th + QA Colbert & DuVernay

9/28/2026 UPDATE: This film is currently sold out and we were unable to get tickets. Tickets are on Standby Line only at this point. I will post further updates when we get them. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- This Documentary Centerpiece of the Festival promises to be a fascinating and topical film, which will no doubt be enhanced by the post screen discussion between Stephen Colbert and filmmaker Ava DuVernay! Signing up below means you want a ticket when we get them during the Member sale from 9/28-9/30/2026. IMPORTANT NOTE: MFF has changed their festival ticketing policy. So, we will only be able to offer Member discount pricing to THE FIRST 6 RSVPS on each event. After that number has been reached your tickets will be priced at the General rate. Your event host(s) will count as one of the 6 Member tickets. So, be sure to RSVP ASAP if you want that Member discount. **Tickets go on sale Monday, September 28 at 10:00am to Montclair Film Members and Thursday, October 1 at 10:00am to the public.** General $25 Member $20 Our post-film discussion venue is currently TBD. A decade after her Academy Award®-nominated and Emmy® Award-winning documentary 13th, Ava DuVernay is turning her lens on the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Written in the wreckage of the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was meant to close the door on the hierarchy of human worth. Instead, it has become the subject of a permanent argument. Ava DuVernay’s 14th pulls this constitutional fight out of the footnotes and into the present, chronicling the vicious battle over the amendment that has raged for over 150 years. Threading deep archival scholarship with piercing headlines from today, 14th brings together legal minds, politicians, historians, and cultural voices in direct conversation with a question America still hasn’t settled: Who gets to belong? **Q&A with Documentary Filmmaker Award winner Ava DuVernay, moderated by Stephen Colbert, follows the screening.**
