Program Description: The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali

In 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances, Ellie dreams for a friend to alleviate her isolation.

Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions of becoming “lion women.”

But their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later, however, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives.

Together, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences.

Program Description: All about the Levkoviches (2024), directed by Ádám Breier, 1 hr. 25 min., Drama

A generous but stubborn boxing coach, Tamás, gets along well with everyone but his own son. They have not spoken since the boy, Iván, moved to Israel and became religious in an orthodox community. When Tamás’s beloved wife, Zsuzsa, dies unexpectedly, Tamás agrees with his son that he can come and sit shibah in his house as long as he brings his grandson, Ariel, with him.

As past conflicts resurface, they embark on an unexpected journey of self-reflection and reconciliation. Father and son are not just obliged to face their old grievances during the one-week religious mourning but to help Ariel deal with his own grief and his obsession that Grandma’s spirit is still in the house.

Art for Untangling with Joanna Hody: Do you have a brain that feels like it is always on a roller coaster or a record player stuck on repeat? No? Lucky you! You will still have fun and make something beautiful. For the rest of us, this session offers a deeply calming, process-based art experience inspired by Zentangle and neurographic art. We will use simple lines, curves, and patterns to slow down, settle our systems, and create meditative drawings that support gentle self-expression.

These styles of art do not require any prior experience and do not focus on creating a finished image. Instead, we will work with repetition and flow, allowing the artwork to develop naturally. Mindful creation like this can help reduce stress, quiet your mind, and support a sense of grounded connection to peace. All the materials we will use are simple and accessible, and the emphasis is on presence rather than perfection.

Instructor: Joanna is a therapist, educator, and facilitator who uses creative and reflective practices to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and connection. Her work centers on accessible, gentle approaches that invite curiosity, creativity, and compassion rather than performance or perfection. She enjoys creating spaces where warmth and acceptance guide the experience.

Program Description: When Women Ran Fifth Avenue by Julie Satow

The twentieth century American department store: a palace of consumption where every wish could be met under one roof – afternoon tea, a stroll through the latest fashions, a wedding (or funeral) planned. It was a place where women, shopper and shopgirl alike, could stake out a newfound independence. Whether in New York or Chicago or on Main Street, USA, men owned the buildings, but inside, women ruled.

In this hothouse atmosphere, three women rose to the top. In the 1930s, Hortense Odlum of Bonwit Teller came to her husband's department store as a housewife tasked with attracting more shoppers like herself, and wound up running the company. Dorothy Shaver of Lord & Taylor championed American designers during World War II--before which US fashions were almost exclusively Parisian copies--becoming the first businesswoman to earn a $1 million salary. And in the 1960s Geraldine Stutz of Henri Bendel re-invented the look of the modern department store. With a preternatural sense for trends, she inspired a devoted following of ultra-chic shoppers as well as decades of copycats.

In When Women Ran Fifth Avenue, journalist Julie Satow draws back the curtain on three visionaries who took great risks, forging new paths for the women who followed in their footsteps. This stylish account, rich with personal drama and trade secrets, captures the department store in all its glitz, decadence, and fun, and showcases the women who made that beautifully curated world go round.
