This feature would be Japan’s entry in *The David Lynch Memorial Incomprehensible Movie Festival* if such an event existed. The story starts with a strange but straightforward premise: a man signs a contract with an organization dedicated to S&M activity. Their extensive roster of dominatrices will attack and humiliate him periodically over the course of a year, sometimes at arranged time and places, sometimes in surprise ambushes. Clad in black leather and wielding a variety of “tools,” they give him what he asked for until one day he decides the action is getting a little too extreme. At this point the movie departs from a linear narrative and runs off the rails… wait, did this movie even have rails? If you enjoy this sort of subject matter, this feature will give you as much as you want (until you decide it’s getting too extreme). If not, avoid it to prevent bruising your psyche! ■ Title — *R100* ■ A.K.A. — *100禁* ■ Director — Hitoshi Matsumoto ■ Cast — Nao Ômori, Mao Daichi, Shinobu Terajima ■ Unrated, suitable for teens and adults ■ ©2013 \| 1h 39m \| Comedy\, Drama ■ Japanese dialogue with English sutitles ■ Watch it free with ads on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/593978/r100 ■ Available free without ads to Kanopy subscribers (details below): https://www.kanopy.com/en/product/13891846 ■ Available free without ads to Hoopla subscribers: https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11323653 ■ Kanopy streaming service is available free to holders of DC library cards.

This is a paid workshop, please don't RSVP until you have registered at [https://www.lorenphotos.com/product/vt-night-photo-workshop/](https://www.lorenphotos.com/product/vt-night-photo-workshop/) Join professional photographer Loren Fisher, as we get away from city lights and explore photographing at night, astrophotography and light painting. We’ll go to remote Vermont locations that offer tremendous views of the sky. I have mastered the technique of light painting: using flashlights to illuminate large objects in the dark. The combination of stars and light painting make for incredible images. Even if you have never photographed at night, this is will be an exciting exploration of your capabilities, it is much easier than it seems, if you follow the proper steps. Photos of the night sky can be pretty boring if there isn’t something in the foreground. We’ll make traditional shots with silhouettes but we’ll go beyond that and do light painting to illuminate large foreground objects. I’ll have different flashlights we will use including my big one that can light things up from more than a ¼ mile away. I’ll show you how to find the Milky Way’s galactic center – the brightest and most colorful section. One of the trickier things about night photography is focusing your camera, I’ll show you some great methods to make sure you are in focus. We’ll delve into long exposure noise reduction and when it should and shouldn’t be used. You’ll learn how the focal length of your lens affects how long you can leave the shutter open without seeing movement in the stars. We will photograph star trails using multiple exposures and learn how to put them together in Photoshop and the StarStax program. If we happen to hit a cloudy night, we will still make some fun and exciting photos by doing creative light painting of Vermontish things like a covered bridge, a cemetery, a barn or a pond. You don’t need a lot of specialized equipment for photographing the stars but you need a camera that makes clean images with ISO higher than 2000. A wide and fast lens is needed, I use a 16-35mm f/2.8 zoom on a full size sensor camera. If you are using a crop sensor, you want at least a 12mm lens or wider. F/2.8 is important, you can get away with f/3.5 but any slower and you won’t be happy with your results. If you don’t have a fast wide angle lens this might be a good time to rent one. You’ll need a sturdy tripod and a remote shutter release, I recommend a wired one. Wireless work but you better have spare batteries! An intervalometer is needed to shoot star trails. Many newer cameras have one built in, but if yours doesn’t, you’ll want to pick one up, it can also serve as your remote shutter release. We will be based at my art gallery in Woodstock, VT, a quaint New England village named by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the most beautiful towns in America. We won’t be doing much hiking or walking, you’ll be pretty close to the car the whole time. I recommend wearing hiking boots since we will be out in fields, around ponds and in rough ground in the dark. You’ll receive more clothing suggestions after you register. Since we will be out late, I won’t have any planned activities during the day but I’ll give you an extensive list of great sites to visit for other photo opportunities. Maximum number of participants: 11 For more info and to register go to [https://www.lorenphotos.com/product/vt-night-photo-workshop/](https://www.lorenphotos.com/product/vt-night-photo-workshop/) There will be participants who are not members of this Meetup.

Be prepared for an entirely different type of sci-fi movie! Unofficially, the second movie in director Lars von Trier's "Depression Trilogy," 2011 Melancholia depicts the events that occur before a rogue planet is about to collide with the earth. Considered by many to be a masterpiece, the film was included in BFI's 2022 Sight and Sound Poll of the greatest movies of all time. It is available at the library as well as on Kanopy.
