Directed by two-time Oscar® nominated filmmaker Steve James (HOOP DREAMS, LIFE ITSELF), A COMPASSIONATE SPY is a gripping real-life spy thriller about controversial Manhattan Project physicist Ted Hall, who infamously provided nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union, told through the perspective of his loving wife Joan, who protected his secret for decades. Recruited in 1944 as an 18-year-old Harvard undergraduate to help Robert Oppenheimer and his team create a bomb, Hall was the youngest physicist on the Manhattan Project, and didn’t share his colleagues’ elation after the successful detonation of the world’s first atomic bomb. Concerned that a U.S. post-war monopoly on such a powerful weapon could lead to nuclear catastrophe, Hall began passing key information about the bomb’s construction to the Soviet Union. After the war, he met, fell in love with, and married Joan, a fellow student with whom he shared a passion for classical music and socialist causes — and the explosive secret of his espionage. The pair raised a family while living under a cloud of suspicion and years of FBI surveillance and intimidation. A COMPASSIONATE SPY reveals the twists and turns of this real-life spy story, its profound impact on nuclear history, and the couple’s remarkable love and life together during more than 50 years of marriage.

We see you shiver with antici….pation – and we’re happy to be back with the LITF sing-along! Give yourself over to the absolute pleasure of this cult classic.
It’s astounding – we’ll have a costume parade and prizes…and a few ‘special’ guests.
So jump to the left and step to the right and pick up your tickets at the Astor Theatre during regular box office hours or at the door.
Tickets are $18.
Note: this movie is rated 14+ and has adult themes and content.

Actor and writer Shelley Thompson will be visiting the Astor this Sunday to launch her new novel, Roar. Inspired by the original screenplay for the award-winning feature film “Dawn, Her Dad & the Tractor”, about a young trans woman who returns to her family farm in the wake of her mother’s death. A work of fierce allyship, of enduring love and of gentle hope, Roar follows a family through grief and estrangement as they become catalysts for change in their rural community. Told from multiple points of view, with confidence and tenderness, Roar is profoundly authentic, drawing on her own experience as the mother of a trans child and fierce activist for the trans community.

Shelley will be doing a reading from this, her debut novel, and signing copies of the book in the Gorham Room at 2pm. She will be joined in conversation with special guest, author Marcia Harding. There is no charge for this event.

In the theatre at 4pm, we will be screening Shelley’s 2021 film “Dawn, Her Dad & the Tractor”, which inspired the novel. We are thrilled to be able to offer the first 25 tickets at no charge! After that, tickets to the movie are $10 each.

We are immensely grateful for the financial support of the Diversity and Inclusion Action Team of the Region of Queens Municipality who have made this book reading and film screening possible.
