Cheers to a great weekend of art and community!
Greenport will be buzzing all weekend with the arrival of Barque Eagle tomorrow morning, and we’re excited to welcome the captain and crew—along with the sea shanty band Ethel’s Mermen—to NFAC on Friday night in partnership with the East End Seaport Museum.
We’re now sold out, but if you’re still looking to join the festivities on Friday, the Greenport Band will perform in Mitchell Park at 7:30 p.m. with a salute to the Eagle and the Coast Guard’s 236th anniversary.
On Saturday, join us for a FREE screening of Blades of Glory at 1 p.m. We’re thrilled to support the community effort to bring an ice rink to Mitchell Park, and we hope you’ll spend part of your Saturday with us before heading over to the evening festivities.
We’re also getting excited for our second annual Blues Night next Saturday, so grab your early bird tickets while they’re still available. And if you haven’t seen The Odyssey yet, you have just one week left to catch it on the big screen!

Hellenic Film Festival & Screening of King Otto
|
In the summer of 2004, audiences looked on in disbelief as the Greek National Football Team, a country that had never previously won a single match or even scored a goal in a major tournament, took down the giants of world football to become the unlikeliest of European Champions.
The architect behind this unprecedented triumph was legendary German football coach ‘King’ Otto Rehhagel. After accomplishing every major success in Germany, he made the bold decision to leave all he knew behind and work in a foreign country with the underachieving Greek National Team.
This is the story of how these two contrasting cultures came together to speak the same language and write a new chapter of Greek mythology.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day
|
Rated PG-13 for sequences of action/violence and some language
It’s a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him — and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him — sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves – a powerful villain no one can even see.

Rated R for sexual material, language throughout, and drug use
Joe and Angela don’t have people over often. Tonight their mysterious upstairs neighbors are coming down for dinner. What follows is an evening of unexpected twists and turns, revealing deeply repressed emotions and unexplored sexuality.

Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual humor, language, a comic violent image and some drug references.
When rival figure skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) go ballistic in an embarrassing, no-holds-barred fight at the World Championships, they are stripped of their gold medals and banned from the sport for life. Now, three-and-a-half years on, they’ve found a loophole that will allow them to compete: if they can put aside their differences, they can skate together – in pairs’ figure skating.
