Greystone Manor Therapeutic Riding Center has created a unique horsemanship program for Pathways Institute participants. Four weekly unmounted horsemanship sessions will allow participants to experience the incredible bond between humans and horses, enhance physical and cognitive stretching and strength, facilitate positive exchange of experiences, and consider future equine opportunities. The sensory nature of the horse is good for the inside and outside of people! The group will be led by PATH certified instructors. Activities will include a moderate level of exercise. Additional forms will need to be filled out to participate in the program, including a release form from your doctor. Please register before August 14.

In 1998, the American Film Institute (AFI) polled over 1,500 artists and film industry leaders to gather their votes for the top 100 American films of all time. These “arbiters of excellence” chose from a list of 400 nominated films. The criteria included critical recognition, major awards won, popularity over time, historical significance, and cultural impact. Controversy ensued as often happens with any list of excellence. The AFI produced a revised list in 2007, and films were dropped, others added, some moved up, and others dropped down. This 2007 list will serve as the basis for the course. In Part 1 we will count down from #100 to #51. For each film, we will examine the historical and cultural context, the impact of each film on the art of feature narrative films, and discuss why this film found its way onto this exalted list. Clips will be shown for each film. Part 2 will be offered in Spring 2022.
