Join local filmmaker Christopher Conto as he shares his most recent work in progress, "The Go Between". A six part television mini series based on the life of one the most iconic, yet under appreciated figures of 17th century colonial America, Arent Van Curler. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a live table read as Chris takes you through the pilot episode, entitled "The Priest."

Professor Nancy Newman will discuss her new book from SUNY Press, "Songs and Sounds of the Anti-Rent Movement in Upstate New York." Tenant farmers in the Hudson-Mohawk region engaged in organized protest throughout the 1840s to contest monopoly ownership of the land they worked. Arguing their cause in newspapers, on broadsides, and at rallies, their aspirations also took shape in poetry and song. This is the first book to gather the poetry and corresponding tunes into one publication.

Bronner will discuss his recent book, "Albany During The American Revolution: Victory In Upstate New York."  The book traces how Albany and the surrounding region built the military and governmental capacity to defend the community, highlighting local officers, key campaigns from the 1775 invasion of Canada through the end of the war, and the pivotal 1777 conflicts at Saratoga, Fort Stanwix, and across upstate New York.
