Watchung Booksellers

Out Montclair and Watchung Booksellers kick off Pride month with Moth Grand-SLAM Storyteller and Emmy Award-winning director Phill Branch, discussing his powerful memoir, <a href="https://watchungbooksellers.com/events/5125720260603" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Double Dutch Fuss</a>, with former Black-Eyed Peas singer/songwriter Kim Hill on Wednesday, June 3 at 7:00 p.m.
In this raw and lyrical memoir, Branch chronicles his struggle to break free from—and live outside of—the prescribed paradigms of Blackness and masculinity that shaped him. Growing up, Phill paid greatly for his failures at boyhood, especially when he was caught playing jump rope with girls. This taught him there were standards to be met, codes that were not to be violated, and strict punishment for any deviation from a Black man’s assigned position in the world.
Branch reckons with the patriarchy and tradition of these social structures in Black America and how healing wounds can open a pathway toward freedom and wholeness.&nbsp;
<a href="https://watchungbookselelrs.com/events" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"></a>Tickets are $5 and include a 10% discount on the book at the event. Purchase at <a href="https://watchungbooksellers.com/events" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">watchungbooksellers.com</a>.

The 2nd Annual Boricua Film Festival returns on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 1:00 PM at the Williams Center in Rutherford, NJ. Come spend the day with Puerto Rican films, live performance, poetry, music, conversation, and community in one in-person festival experience.

This year we are proud to feature Cortaditos, an award winning six-film Puerto Rican short film block presented through our new collaboration with the Puerto Rico European Film Festival and Alliance Française de Puerto Rico.
Audiences will experience films including Golpe de Agua, Mulata, Chimenea de muerte, De tribus y máscaras, El Arresto, El Pueblo de Coral, and A Tale of Two Cities: Reclaiming Niagara Falls and Salinas.
