SUMMARY:West Newton Cinema presents Among Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:AMONG NEIGHBORS\n2026 Special Event DCP with Filmmaker Q&A intended for screenings on or around International Holocaust Remembrance Day | January 27\, 2026 \nABOUT THE SPECIAL EVENT\nThe Special Event Q&A includes a brief pre-recorded introduction by filmmaker Yoav Potash\, and an in-depth post-film Q&A compilation that reveals the fascinating making-of stories –– as well as the ongoing controversy –– behind this critically-acclaimed film. The Q&A compilation was filmed live at sold-out screenings in New York\, Los Angeles\, and the San Francisco Bay Area\, lending a special event feel to the content. \nFILM SYNOPSIS\nUsing beautiful hand-drawn animation to bring the past to life\, “Among Neighbors” investigates the story of a small\, rural town where the longstanding peace between Jewish and Polish neighbors was shattered by World War II. Now\, in an era where difficult truths about the past are being silenced for political gain\, the film focuses on the only living Holocaust survivor from the town\, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there – six months after the Nazis were defeated. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash (“Crime After Crime\,” Sundance Film Festival)\, “Among Neighbors” is an evocative and heart-pounding murder mystery with urgent political relevance.

SUMMARY:West Newton Cinema presents Mary Pickford's Sparrows: Live Music Accompaniment
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Mary Pickford’s\, SPARROWS (1926) with live musical accompaniment. \nABOUT THE FILM:\nMolly\, the eldest child at a baby farm hidden deep in a swamp\, must rescue the others when their cruel master decides that one of them will be disposed of. \nLIVE MUSIC\nBRUCE VOGT\nBruce Vogt is a Canadian pianist who has devoted a distinguished career to performing and teaching. He has toured cities and towns of all sizes throughout North America\, Europe\, and Asia as a soloist and chamber musician. He has mentored generations of young artists in his role as professor of piano at the University of Victoria\, and has lectured widely\, leading master classes\, workshops\, and adjudicating for festivals. \nBruce has sustained an interest in exploring the many conversations to be found between music and film\, literature and painting. This has evolved into an unusual side hustle: improvising accompaniments for the great films of the silent era. He has developed a robust career in this multimedia sphere bringing sound to many masterpieces — by Chaplin\, Keaton\, Lloyd\, Griffith\, Sjöström\, Von Sternberg and many others. In movie theaters across Europe\, Asia\, and North America\, he has provided for audiences a greater intimacy with these films\, transforming the silence of the medium into another sphere.

SUMMARY:West Newton Cinema presents Night Fight
DESCRIPTION:Night Fight is a hybrid documentary\, nonfiction framed with creative\, cinematic storytelling directed and edited by Khary Saeed Jones. The film emerges from a harrowing incident in 2017 when Jones was followed by a racist vigilante along back roads in rural Canada. Over time\, that encounter cast a long shadow over his life\, prompting a deep\, introspective journey to understand not just what happened\, but how it shaped him. \nRather than a conventional documentary\, Night Fight weaves together Jones’s personal reflections\, self-portrait video fragments\, and interviews with academics\, artists\, and writers about racial violence\, memory\, and psychological impact. The narrative oscillates between the literal journey back to the site of the incident and an emotional\, internal journey toward meaning and healing. \nDescribed as a candid\, nuanced\, and deeply personal film\, Night Fight confronts systemic and interpersonal racial violence and discrimination. It engages with the challenge of sharing an internal reality that is both singular and emblematic of broader collective experiences. \nJoin us for a post-film discussion with the filmmaker Khary Jones. \nKhary Saeed Jones is an award-winning filmmaker\, editor\, and Professor of the Practice in Drama\, Film\, and Performance Studies at Tufts University\, where he teaches screen storytelling and mentors students in both documentary and scripted projects. Jones holds an MFA in Film Directing and an MA in English from Columbia University\, as well as a BA in English from Morehouse College.\nHis work as a writer-director explores the tensions between fiction\, memory\, and lived experience\, and has screened at major festivals and cultural venues including Sundance\, SXSW\, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York\, Full Frame Documentary Film Festival\, and ICA Boston.
