Closing Day — Guest Speaker Joanne Friedland Roberts followed by screening of the film she produced, “The Bonackers.” Ms. Friedland Roberts will discuss the project. Space is limited, so please register in advance to reserve a seat.
THE BONACKERS is the story of the fiercely independent men and women whose families have fished and farmed the land and seas of the east end of Long Island for almost 400 years…. Holding onto their traditions in spite of ever-increasing obstacles, the Bonackers’ wisdom, challenges, stories, and sagas unfold as we head out onto their boats and bays, and into their pick-up trucks, farms, and fields. Historic footage from Local TV East Hampton’s “hidden archive,” and photographs from Adelaide de Menil’s “Men’s Lives Project” are layered throughout, along with the songs of the sea.
The Bonackers Project is produced and directed by Joanne Friedland Roberts.
