Wednesday, June 24, 8:00 pm At The Nyack CenterMeet the Filmmaker: Discussion with the director, Ilise Harris, after the film.
Women all over the world are ditching the dye and celebrating their gray hair. International makeup and hair artist Ilise Harris explores this moment in fashion and beauty history; a shift accelerated by the pandemic and a passionate online community called Silver Sisters, creating  a larger conversation around aging, health, visibility, beauty, feminism, sexism, ageism, and female empowerment.
Normalizing gray hair for women and girls of all ages raises questions about where our ideas around beauty and aging come from, who they serve,  and how cultural change happens. Your Roots Are Showing is a thought provoking and inspiring celebration of beauty, authenticity, and the benefits of choice. Its mission is to challenge at least one outdated beauty standard.

The Nyack Center S. Broadway at Depew Avenue in Nyack

Directed by Steven Soderbergh With Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning 2025, UK/USA, 100 min., rated R for language
A mainstay of the London art scene since his breakout in the creative explosion of the 1960’s, Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) has drifted into a cluttered, self-imposed seclusion. His two estranged children enlist a young painter and sometime-forger, to pose as a prospective assistant and gain access to a fabled series of unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in his home studio, in a deceptive bid to secure an inheritance for themselves.
