SUMMARY:Preserving Other Voices: The Ashley Bryan Papers at the University of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, July 16th at 5:30pm\, the Jesup Memorial Library will host the 6th Annual Ashley Bryan Honorary Lecture with Lynne Farrington from the University of Pennsylvania Libraries\, where the Ashley Bryan Papers are housed. For this lecture\, the Ashley Bryan Papers will serve as a case study for exploring the role that curators play in determining not just what gets collected and preserved\, but also what gets studied\, exhibited\, and otherwise shared with the public. Bryan’s papers reveal the many dimensions of his experience\, including as a Black soldier during World War II\, and illustrate how what is preserved from the past can affect how history\, now and in the future\, is written and remembered. 34 Mt. Desert Street\, Bar Harbor.

SUMMARY:Points North Summer Party

Points North turns 10 this year\, and they are celebrating this special milestone with local artists\, new films\, good food\, and a summer night in the garden worth dressing up for! \nThe event honors longtime supporters Ann & Dick Costello\, whose deep and sustained involvement has made so much of this possible\, alongside Biljana Tutorov & Petar Glomazić\, directors of To Hold a Mountain — the first film completed through our Diane Weyermann Fellowship\, and winner of the Grand Jury Prize for World Documentary at Sundance this year.

From 7pm\, expect wood-fired pizza and bites from The Uproot Pie Company and Bleecker & Greer\, custom artmaking with Wet Day Fire and Little Chair Printing\, live music from Kafari\, and a sneak preview of CIFF 2026.
