JULY 30TH TONITE’S MOVIE The Namesake CANCELLED
Hey Everyone–
The radar maps are heavy with green (rain!) and heading our way –so unfortunately we are going to cancel. We have not given up on “The Namesake”–check back, we may sneak it in on another unused “raindate” or switch out our documentary at the end of the season. Sorry to all –but you must not fool with Mother Nature.

We here at Films in Van Vorst are keeping our fingers crossed for tonight’s showing of The Namesake. We really want to show it and we know everyone will love it…. However, weather.com is predicting some isolated thunderstorms–so our plan is that we will proceed as if the weather will cooperate and we’ll make a decision closer to showtime.

When the the Ganguli family moves from Calcutta to New York, they embark upon a lifelong balancing act to meld into a new world without forgetting the old. Though parents Ashoke and Ashima long for the family and culture that enveloped them in India, they take great pride in the opportunities their sacrifices have afforded their children. Paradoxically, their son Gogol is torn between finding his own unique identity without losing his heritage. Even Gogol’s name represents the family’s journey into the unknown.
