February Feb. 1 BUSINESS MEETING Feb. 8 PEACEPRINTS II: Writing our memoirs, building our history. Feb. 15 Ostrov/The Island (DVD): Jim Forest describes this film as “essentially . . . a study of sanctity. . . . It’s filmed on the northern edge of Russia on a few barren islands in the White Sea where a small community of monks live a very austere life. One of them is Fr. Anatoly, who decades earlier was rescued by the monks after being washed up on the shore following the sinking of the coal barge he had been working on, stoking the boiler. He brings with him an almost unbearable burden, the memory of killing a defenseless man in order to save his own life. Repentance is at the core of his life. Ostrov has received prizes for best film, best actor, best cinematography. It was well received at various international film festivals: Venice, San Francisco, Seattle, London, Sundance, Montreal, etc.” Feb. 16 LASC: Haitian/Human Rights speaker(s) – WNYPC for info: 894-2013.
