Story JAM: Bi-Monthly Storytelling Circle
2025-11-20 18:00 - 19:30 | JAM – Junction Arts & Media, 5 S Main St, White River Junction, VT, 05001, United States
In a society increasingly divided and isolated, storytelling can bring us together. Story Jam is a bi-monthly story circle where community members can meet to get to know each other through personal stories. All members of the Upper Valley community are invited to join the circle and share an unrehearsed 5-minute true story from their own life. No competition, no judgment, no lecturing, no ranting… Just share a story about something that happened to you and listen to other people’s stories. Whether you are a new or seasoned storyteller; whether you are shy or extroverted – all are welcome! The moderators will keep track of time to make sure everyone has a chance to speak.
For more info, reach us at storyjam@uvjam.org

Video Stop II: Bad Video
2025-12-01 09:00 - 2026-03-08 17:00 | JAM – Junction Arts & Media, 5 S Main St, White River Junction, VT, 05001, United States
The year is 2003. It’s a Friday which means one thing – movie night. You are buckled into the Goldfish crumb-crusted booster seat in the back of a ’95 Honda Civic with a power steering leak. 50 Cent’s “In da Club” blasts over the radio as you pull into the parking lot of your local, chain Video rental store. You are permitted to select ONE movie. The carpet is sticky and the staff is unhelpful and rude. Among the disorganized shelves, you find it – the movie all your friends are quoting, Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood: Men in Tights. The sticker on the cover reads “PG-13.” Your heart races as you slide the VHS tape onto the counter. Your exhausted parent doesn’t seem to notice. The handheld scanner beeps and the disgruntled teenaged employee slides the tape into a plastic bag. Third grade is gonna be YOUR year, baby!
Tragically, many of today’s youth will never know how good we used to have it. BUT you can give them the next best thing! From the mind of Chico Eastridge comes Video Stop II: Bad Video! Visit this pop up VHS store/ art installation December-January, in the back of JAM to rent movies on VHS like the good ol’ days! Don’t have a way to play it? No problem! VHS players are also available for loan.
Open when we feel like it.

Dead Man's Wire (WRIF Preview Screening @ the Hop)
2025-12-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center 22 Lebanon Street, Hanover, NH, 03755
Join us for a FREE preview of White River Indie Films 2026 with our friends at the Hopkins Center For the Arts!
Bill Skarsgård, Colman Domingo and Al Pacino star in Gus Van Sant’s kidnap thriller based on the true story of an infamous 1977 ransom over a business deal gone bad.
Oscar nominee Gus Van Sant (Milk, Good Will Hunting) has used cinema as a means of mirroring American life in all its extremes and complexities. Graced with captivating performances from Bill Skarsgård, Colman Domingo, Cary Elwes and Al Pacino, Van Sant’s latest taps into the culture’s hunger for outlaw folk heroes who seek to wrest control from the privileged elite.
It is February 1977. Having fallen behind on his mortgage and, as a result, lost the commercial property he’d dreamed of developing, aspiring Indianapolis entrepreneur Tony Kiritsis (Skarsgård) kidnaps Meridian Mortgage Company president Richard Hall (Dacre Montgomery, Stranger Things). His ransom demands include the $5 million he believes Meridian deliberately cheated him of and a heartfelt apology from the company’s founder (Pacino)—who is enjoying a luxury vacation in Florida, a fact that only stokes Tony’s ire.
The feature screenwriting debut of Austin Kolodney (Funny Or Die), Dead Man’s Wire resonates powerfully with present-day class resentments. It’s also darkly funny, wildly entertaining, and rife with appealing supporting characters, especially Domingo’s beloved local disc jockey, whom Tony manages to rope into the negotiations.

Tickets and more information on the AVA Gallery website.

Novel Formats is a cycle of seven performance works that explore the phenomenal nature of dance in conversation with forms outside itself. Each dance is unique, and each work in Novel Formats is a distinct collaboration between dance, music, and visual art. For each, artists come together from a range of practices and, in varying permutations, engage collectively in performance making. In doing so, they investigate the social and political dimensions of improvisation. The works demonstrate that improvisation can be a shared experience that transcends discipline: it is a communal practice, a way to be in relationship with oneself, with others, and the world. To date, three works in the Novel Formats cycle have been created and performed: #1: A Dialogue, #2: The Set Up, #3: Loop. AVA will be premiering performances of the next two works: #5: For A Time, #6: You Are Here, Change, Change, Change.

WRIF Preview Screening: It Was Just an Accident @ the HOP
2026-01-29 19:00 - 21:00 | Spaulding Auditorium, 12 Lebanon Street, Hanover, 03755, United States
Join us for a White River Indie Festival 2026 Preview Screening event with our friends at the Hopkins Center!
Vahid, an unassuming mechanic, is suddenly reminded of his time in an Iranian prison when he has a chance encounter with Eghbal, a man he strongly suspects to be his sadistic former jailhouse captor. He kidnaps him but nagging uncertainty delays a fatal retribution. Panicked, Vahid rounds up a few of his fellow ex-prisoners to try and confirm Eghbal’s identity. As the bickering group drives around Tehran with their captive, they must confront how far to take matters into their own hands with their presumed tormentor.
Master filmmaker Jafar Panahi creates a searing moral thriller, where high-stakes tension combines with unexpected flurries of humor and the thoughtful, devastating choices between revenge and mercy. Through handheld camerawork and intimate long takes, Panahi crafts a profound meditation on trauma, empathy and the corrosive legacy of state violence.
D: Jafar Panahi, Iran/France, subtitled, 2025, 1h43m

WRIF Preview Screening: The History of Sound @ the HOP
2026-02-14 14:00 - 16:00 | Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center 22 Lebanon Street, Hanover, NH, 03755
For Valentine’s day, join us for a White River Indie Festival 2026 Preview Screening event with our friends at the Hopkins Center! In The History of Sound, Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor play early 20th-century music students in this heartfelt, understated romance that spans decades and continents.
While growing up in rural Kentucky at the turn of the 19th century, Lionel (Mescal) demonstrates a profound gift for music that leads him to a scholarship at the Boston Conservatory of Music. There, he meets the upper-class, polished David (O’Connor) through their shared passion for folk ballads. World War I separates them, but they reunite for an idyllic musicological field trip through rural New England, listening to and recording local people singing their homemade compositions.
Director Oliver Hermanus (Living) creates an intoxicating, nostalgic period atmosphere, with folk songs, augmented subtly by Oliver Coates’s score. Mescal and O’Connor are two of the best actors alive right now, and they make this beguiling, hearttugging romance as believable as it is beautiful.
D: Oliver Hermanus, US, 2025, 2h7m
