In its ninth year, the Gold Coast International Film Festival saw record-breaking attendance numbers.

T
he ninth annual Gold Coast International Film Festival achieved record attendance and sold-out shows, according to organizers. “It was another rousing success for the film festival this year,” the director of the event, Caroline Sorokoff, said. “We had more people and sold-out shows than ever before. It was wonderful to be a part of.” Stretching from Nov. 4-13, the film festival featured movies, documentaries and short films from over a dozen countries, and hosted audiences from over 200 ZIP codes. Screenings of films took place at a variety of venues on the North Shore in areas such as Great Neck, Port Washington and Roslyn. “Aside from the overwhelming turnout we saw, there was also a more noticeable uptick in the total number of movies each person saw,” Sorokoff explained. “Along with that, we noticed that more people were purchas-
ing tickets for these shows well in advance compared to years past. It’s nice to see people trusting what we have to offer.” Sorokoff did not provide specific attendance figures. She said that in years past, most people would go to see the shows with A-list celebrities starring in them or ones directed by prominent directors. While films featuring Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansen, Justin Long, Sir Anthony Hopkins and others were shown, the attendance for lesser-publicized films had a noteworthy increase. After the last films were played, members of the film community, along with directors, cinematographers and Gold Coast board members gathered for a lunch celebrating the event and announcing the jury and audience awards. During the screenings, audience members were given a ballot to vote on which films they thought had the best narrative. “The Keeper,” directed by Marcus H. Rosenmuller, won, beating runners-up “Balloon” and
“Two Popes.” The audience award for best documentary went to “Picture of His Life,” which beat the two runners-up “The Dog Doc” and “Henri Dauman: Looking Up.” A jury of professional filmmakers and people in the film industry voted on the best animated, documentary and narrative short films. “Turbopera,” “I Have a Message for You” and “Transmitter Receiver” won the awards, respectively. Additionally, audiences voted on best short and best family short, with “I Have a Message for You” and “The Pig on the Hill” respectively taking home the awards. While the film festival has concluded until November 2020, Sorokoff said the Gold Coast Arts Center in Great Neck has plenty to offer in the meantime. “We have so much here for the community,” she said. “From foreign films to hands-on activities, we will always have a reason to stop in and check out what there is at your disposal.”

Holiday schedule of events Adelphi’s chorale, at Old Westbury Gardens vocal ensemble Old Westbury Gardens has announced its full line-up of holiday events, including the long-anticipated Christmas in Westbury House celebration. During weekends throughout the holiday season, visitors are encouraged to enjoy a selfguided tour of the decorated rooms throughout the Charles II-style mansion, visit and take photos with Santa, and stop in to participate in children’s crafts on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm. Each weekend will feature special events, from holiday markets to musical performances. “Late November and December make for a very a magical time to visit Old Westbury Gardens,” said Nancy Costopulos, president and CEO of Old Westbury Gardens. “This year is particularly momentous since, after months of restoration work at Westbury House, we are finally able to re-open the doors for visitors to come inside the Phipps’s family
home. I believe everyone will enjoy seeing Westbury House in pristine condition and get in the holiday spirit while participating in our fabulous seasonal activities.” In addition to Christmas at Westbury House, Old Westbury Gardens will also host several events, including the return of the Holiday Market, this year with a second weekend added. Saturday, Nov. 30 through Sunday, Dec. 1, and Saturday, Dec. 7 through Sunday, Dec. 8, the market will be situated at the Barn at Orchard Hill and Orchard Hill House, providing the perfect backdrop for holiday shopping, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. With approximately fifty vendors featuring artisanal boutiques and exquisite gifts, there is no better way to get holiday shopping done. Each weekend will feature special events, such as the tradition of Old Westbury Garden’s First Night celebration, which features a memorable Christmas tree-lighting, or the
late December outdoor Owl prowl. Tea connoisseurs can also enjoy a festive Cream Tea and Westbury House Tour, featuring scones, clotted cream, jam, and tea, then a guided tour of decorated Westbury House. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required online. “I urge everyone to get into the holiday spirit by visiting Westbury House, which is elegantly transformed for the holidays! It is a must-visit for the entire family,” added Costopulos. “Each historic room of the house is elegantly decorated with Christmas trees, wreaths, mantelpiece arrangements, topiaries, and plants.” General admission is $12; senior admission is $10; children’s admission for ages 7-17 is $7; and children six and under, and Old Westbury Gardens members are free.
The Adelphi Chorale and Adelphi Vocal Ensemble will kick off the Thanksgiving holiday week with a concert at the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center on Sunday, Nov. 24. Under the direction of Karen Faust Baer, the program embodies the spirit of Thanksgiving, with “The Promise of Living” by Aaron Copland, Dan Forrest’s “Always Something Sings” set to the poetry of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Mozart’s “Laudate Dominum.” “Autumn Leaves” and a selection of unusual madrigals will also be part of the event. The Adelphi Chorale and
Adelphi Vocal Ensemble will perform at 4 p.m. on Sunday, November 24, on the Westermann Stage in Adelphi’s PAC Concert Hall. Tickets are $20, with discounts available to seniors, students, alumni and employees. For more information call the Lucia and Steven N. Fischer Box Office at 516-877-4000 or email boxoffice@adelphi.edu.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
G.N. journalist to host anti-Semitism lecture The international movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel – known as BDS – has once again raised old questions about the legitimacy of Zionism and even the right of the State of Israel to exist. Is this a call for social
justice, as its Palestinian leaders claim, or a new form of the virulent antiSemitism that ultimately led to the Holocaust? Dr. Linda Burghardt will present a lecture about what this movement means, why it matters, and what we can do about
Dr. Linda Burghardt, scholar-in-residence, Holocaust Memorial &Tolerance Center
it. The presentation is open to the public and will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 11:00 a.m. at the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County, Welwyn Preserve, 100 Crescent Beach Road in Glen Cove. Seating is limited, so please register by calling the HMTC at 516-571-8040 or visiting online at hmtcli.org. Dr. Burghardt is a journalist and author from Great Neck. She worked as a freelance reporter for The New York Times for 20 years and is the author of three non-fiction books. Her articles and essays have appeared in newspapers across the U.S., and she has lectured to both national and international audiences on a variety of Holocaust topics. She holds a Ph.D. from LIUPost and is the daughter of Holocaust survivors from Vienna. Currently, she serves as Scholar-in-Residence at the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center.
L.I. Baroque Ensemble holiday concerts The Long Island Baroque Ensemble will present its 50th annual Holiday Season concerts on Dec. 7 at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Smithtown at 8:30 p.m. and at Christ Church in Oyster Bay on Dec. 8 at 3:00 p.m. Titled “Silver and Gold,” the program will feature voices, winds, and viols performing works of early composers and cultures from around the world. The group was founded by Ms. Sonia Gezairlian Grib, a musicologist, harpsichordist and professor of music at Hofstra University. While many concert-goers are familiar with the works of J. S. Bach, Handel and Vivaldi, these programs range farther to encompass composers from medieval times to the 17th and 18th centuries. The ensemble comprises a large group of professional musicians with particular skills on instruments common in
early music, such as lute, viol, recorder, cittern, viola da gamba and an array of percussions. Each of the five pairs of concerts during the season draws on a differing group of performers, blending a variety of sounds and harmonies that audiences might have heard when attending musical events in churches, castles, or other social venues three or four centuries ago. Tickets for either concert are available at the door. St. Andrews Lutheran Church can be found at 30 Brooksite Drive in Smithtown. Christ Church is located at 61 East Main St., Oyster Bay NY 11771. General admission is $35 for the public, $30 for seniors and $10 for students. Children ten years of age or younger get in for free. Tickets can also be ordered online at www.libaroque.org.
