New York Film Festival 2021 Review: ‘Hester Street’
It’s only fitting that New York City‘s biggest film festival has chosen to premiere Cohen Film Collection’s new 4K restoration of Joan Micklin Silver’s Hester Street — a film so obviously tied to the city’s legacy with immigration that its namesake can be found 35 minutes away from the festival’s very own Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center. With naturalistic black-and-white cinematography highlighting the city’s daily life, a heartbreakingly marvelous Carol Kane at the forefront of its raw narrative, and born from the vision of a dedicated director who blazed her own path through a flagrantly sexist Hollywood, Hester Street‘s deeply honest tale of immigration and tradition in the towering face of American modernity remains ever-so-resonant in our equally-as-complex modern era, where U.S. immigration remains as much of a labyrinthian cultural issue now as it was over a full century ago.

‘Best Sellers’: Finding Literary Truth in the Modern World
Can the literary art form still survive in this hyperactive, Twitter-operating, modern age? Bookworms venturing through desolated libraries and soon-to-be bankrupt bookstores may find themselves out of time, yearning for a time where a 400-page book held more value than a 28-word tweet. They would imagine themselves as beat poets, or another anarchic voice raging against the establishment, giving their own vision of the continued disillusionment of the American dream.

Do you pass the Bechdel Test?
You know when you're doing something monotonous and you have this ground-shaking revelation about something related to that task and it makes you rethink your entire life? Like when you realise instead of just putting your keys down in a random place, you could put them away on the hook where they're supposed to go? (don't expect me to believe you haven't done it too!)

Sober Living
Sober living in Chino CA is becoming more popular each day. Sober houses are houses that do not allow anyone under the age of 18 to live there, and this includes parents, relatives, and other adults who are considered "non-residents" by the housing authority. The reason for this is that many times drug and alcohol use happens in these homes without adult supervision. Sober living is a valuable choice for those who are looking to live a more productive life, without breaking any of the laws. Many people have found so much success by choosing to live in a Chino CA sober living program, as opposed to staying behind bars or on a waiting list for residential treatment.

Why Did Humans Develop a Desire for Watches?
There is no denying that existence is meaningless without time. Watches are the equipment that we require on hand for keeping track of memories and indicating the time. They are all we need, from being a fashion statement to being the best buddies in times of patiently waiting for a friend/family/colleague. If you choose the perfect watch, it may be a great confidence booster on your wrist.

Stray Humans
We were all so excited when They first arrived. The Srelheok were an advanced race of kind, philanthropic, strange looking off-worlders. With their fluid like bodies, musical voices, and many gifts, it was difficult to see them as a threat. Maybe we should have been more cautious.

My Journey to crocheting
I ran past this ad for the competition on instagram at three am in the morning when for some reason I could not sleep, this is quite unusual for me. I read it and comprehended what it was about and a surge of energy passed through me. When I’m doing my craft, I truly love it and to have this opportunity to write about it and tell others i’m grateful for. Therefore, here is my story.
