Friday DOCS Film Series: Julie Taymor's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'
 
08/08/25 @ 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Community Room Nanuet Public Library
Registration is required.

From the mind of award-winning director Julie Taymor (The Lion King on Broadway, Frida, Titus) comes a Shakespeare adaptation like none other, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. Rich with Taymor's trademark creativity, this immersive and darkly poetic cinematic experience brings the play's iconic fairies, spells and hallucinatory lovers to life. Filmed at her sold-out stage production with cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto (Argo, Frida) and music by Academy Award-winning composer Elliot Goldenthal, the feats of visual imagination are ingenious and plentiful, but beating at the center of the film is an emotionally moving take on the deeper human aspects of Shakespeare's beloved tale.

Its parent organization, The 42nd Infantry Division, which originated during the First World War, was nicknamed the “Rainbow Division” by Colonel (later General of the Army) Douglas MacArthur after he commented that the component regiments of the Division “stretched over the whole country like a rainbow.”

Composed of skilled musicians from all walks of life and professional occupations, the 42nd Infantry Division Band performs a variety of musical genres, ranging from Symphonic/Orchestral, Jazz, Rock and Contemporary Pop.
