SUMMARY:History Course: The Germanen At the Crossroads of Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:Date: \nStart\nThursday\, October 03\, 2024 \nTime:  \nLocation: \nLocation\nDANK Haus: 2nd Floor\, Brauhaus Room \n\n \nThe Germanen: At the Crossroads of Antiquity \nHistory Course presented by Mike Haas \nBegins October 3\, 2024 \nThursday nights\, 7-9 PM \nWestern European civilization arose from its encounter with the cultures of Rome\, Athens & Jerusalem. It was at these crossroads of antiquity that the ancient Germanen would appear on the world stage as warlike barbarians—to the Romans and Greeks—and soulless pagans—to Jews and Christians. It was at the confluence of these cultures\, however\, that the identity of Western Europe would gradually take shape.  \nIndeed\, as these ancient cultures clashed\, overlapped and intersected\, the center of geo-political power in antiquity shifted from the Hellenic East to Rome. It was from the monotheism of Jerusalem that Christianity was derived\, and once Rome adopted the fledgling faith\, so would the Germanic successor kingdoms in the western half of the former Roman Empire during the 6th\, 7th & 8th centuries. \nIt would be these same ancient Germanen\, however\, who would not only assimilate Roman culture and Christian religiosity but in time leave their own cultural imprint on what became known as the Holy Roman Empire. A powerful Western European geo-political entity during the Early Middle Ages\, it was founded by Karl der Grosse (Charlemagne)\, a West Germanic/Frankish tribal king into whose hands was laid the defense of Western Christendom by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day in Rome in the year 800. For his vision and endeavors in putting Western Europe on a path leading out of the Dark Ages\, Karl would be heralded as the Father of Europe. \nJoin us\, then\, for an exploration of Germanic Antiquity and its Kultur to find out what recorded history tells us of these martially vigorous Germanen\, who carried mighty and swift swords but few of whom could read or write. \nThis course will provide participants an excellent opportunity to broaden their general knowledge and basic understanding of early German history. No textbooks\, no homework\, no papers\, no tests or German language skills required. Just a sincere interest to come/learn and come/share in a relaxed\, laid-back setting in the DANK Haus itself or on Zoom within the cozy confines of your own abode. \nMike Haas\, Course Presenter

DESCRIPTION:         \n  \n  \nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: \nMike Houlihan \n312-431-8700\, hiberniantransmedia@gmail.com \n  \nIRISH AMERICAN MOVIE HOOLEY \nRETURNS FOR 2024 \n  \nWhen a party gets rowdy\, the Irish call it a “hooley.” \nTullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey & Hibernian Media proudly announce film selections for their 10th Annual “Irish American Movie Hooley”\, scheduled this year at The Wilmette Theatre in Wilmette Sept. 27-28-29\, 2024. It’s the only Irish American film festival in the world and this year we are so excited to present three extraordinary films. \nOpening the Movie Hooley on Friday September 27th at 8PM will be the World Premiere  SINS OF IRELAND. written and directed by our old friend Alex Fegan\, who will attend this year’s Hooley. This feature documentary is told “Through the prism of the confession box\, which has its origins in Ireland\, Sins of Ireland  is a portrait of an overlooked aspect of Ireland’s past and how it impacted many parts of the world. Fifteen Irish priests\, known for hearing the confessions\, outline what confession was supposed to be and\, while confessing the sins of the church\, what it became.” John Byrne of RTE calls it\, “Genius – it would be a sin to miss it”  \nSaturday night\, September 28th\, will feature the 8PM special Chicago screening of KNEECAP\, written and directed by Rich Peppiatt. Don’t miss this film\, it’s bravura filmmaking at its Irish best! Michael Phillips of the Tribune recently wrote “Kneecap’ is a rousing Belfast hip hop ode to native tongues everywhere!” This film is often in the Irish language with English sub-titles and celebrates the funny\, sexy\, side of Irish rebellion with this coda\, “Every word of Irish spoken is a bullet for Irish freedom.” Jessica Reynolds\, the young actress who plays the sultry\, “Georgia” the Femme fatale in KNEECAP\, will make a personal appearance at this special screening.\n  \nFinally on Sunday at 5PM\, Sept. 29th\, the Hooley will present the Chicago premiere of Rita Davern’s evocative documentary film\, STORIES I DIDN’T KNOW “It’s a family reunion … what could go wrong? Plenty\, as we soon learn when Rita Davern exposes an ugly reality at the heart of a family legend.”  We encourage our audience to come and meet Rita as she tells an emotional tale of her family\, their roots in Ireland\, and the shocking truths she’s discovered along the way. \n  \nNow in its’ tenth year\, the Movie Hooley has introduced audiences to the very best in Irish and Irish American filmmaking\, with opportunities to meet each individual writer\, director\, actor\, or producer who have brought their films to Chicago\, this year once again bringing the films directly to our audiences at The Wilmette Theatre in Wilmette. \n  \nChicago Tribune columnist Rick Kogan said\, “If your image of the Irish is trapped in some sort of playful Shamrock- “Danny Boy” realm\, prepare yourselves for the dark but altogether satisfying world represented by the latest offerings of this year’s Irish American Movie Hooley.” \n  \nThe films have grown in stature each year and the 10th Annual Movie Hooley promises to be our best yet. The Annual Movie Hooley is presented by Hibernian Media NFP\, our local public charity dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Irish culture. We are proud to partner with Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey in presenting this year’s Hooley.  Hibernian also produces a pair of weekly Irish American radio programs\, their community web blog FreeCraic.com\, an annual pilgrimage to Ireland\, and a variety of other film\, TV\, live concerts and literary endeavors. \n  \nSponsors of the 10th Annual Irish American Movie Hooley include The Hilton Chicago\, Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey and Madden Funds.. \n  \nTickets for each film are $12 and snacks and drinks are offered in the lobby. \n  \nWilmette theatre 847-251-7424\, \nwilmettetheatre.com \n1122 Central Ave\, Wilmette\, IL \nFor more information about the Movie Hooley\, visit: https://hibernianmedia.org/movie-hooley/ \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Noted Chicago Bridge Designers
DESCRIPTION:A look at a quintet of designers who impacted bridge design in Chicago and throughout the United States. \nWhile it would be hyperbole to call Chicago “a city of bridges”\, it certainly has its fair share crossing the Chicago River. The city has more moveable bridges than any other in the United States. Multiple waterways\, car and pedestrian traffic\, and heavy railroad infrastructure require bridges of all shapes and sizes in the city–some of which have amazing histories often overlooked. Behind the bridges are their designers: Ralph Modjeski and Joseph Strauss began their storied careers and opened their first offices in Chicago before receiving national and international acclaim; John Alexander Low Waddell and John Greiner were already famous before they erected structures in Chicago; an architect and urban planner\, Edward Bennett\, worked to instill the principles of the City Beautiful movement in his bridge designs which was contained in the Chicago Plan of 1909. This virtual program will discuss these designers and the functional beauty these bridges bring to Chicago.
