Friends of Chappaqua Performing Arts Center and the Town of New Castle Present:
HOW SABA KEPT SINGING
a film screening and talkback
David “Saba” Wisnia never told his wife, children or grandchildren the whole truth about how he survived the Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. The family knew his singing voice had entertained the guards, and that his musical gift had changed his fate, but David’s grandson Avi Wisnia suspects there is more to his Saba’s story. Music, Avi learns, is what brought together David and fellow prisoner Helen “Zippi” Spitzer, a musician and artist. David and Zippi promised to find each other if they survived but they lost contact. How Saba Kept Singing reunites David and Zippi 70 years later, sharing their account of their unimaginable memories. The film is a production of Retro Report and HiddenLight Productions, in association with Burnt Umber Productions.
Following the film, Stacey Saiontz, Trustee of the Jewish Heritage Museum and Co-Chair of the New Castle Holocaust and Human Rights Committee will lead a talk back with Saba’s grandson, Avi Wisnia, director, Sara Taksler, and Executive Producers, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton.

Honorable But Broken: EMS in Crisis - A Documentary Film
2023-10-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Chappaqua PAC, 480 North Bedford Road, Chappaqua, NY, 10514, United States
Join Friends of ChappPAC as we present the documentary, Honorable But Broken: EMS in Crisis. We are honored to have the director and co-producer, Bryony Gilbey and co- producer Rich Diefenbach, both Chappaqua residents, for our talk back after the film is shown. And, Sarah Jessica Parker is the narrator of the film and they will discuss her contribution to the film.
EMS are the first responders to care for patients but they are not funded appropriately and so retaining these valuable health workers is unsustainable. This is something that will affect all of us and we should be very concerned. The film explores the undeniable value of EMS, inherent problems with the current fractured system and solutions some states are implementing to formally embrace and fund this third arm of our 911 emergency service.
Doors open 30 minutes prior
