Indian Summer (2022 remastered)
The film documents the destruction of Cannonsville, NY as its residents are forced out in order to make way for a reservoir that will supply New York City with additional drinking water. The film speaks to many social and political issues that remain highly debated topics throughout American history: environmental justice, eminent domain and property rights, and rural vs urban interests.
The Fall of Cannonsville (2023):
In the mid-1960s the remaining residents of Cannonsville, NY departed their homes for the last time. What was once an idyllic valley had now been made unrecognizable as homes and businesses were demolished and burned. The New York City Board of Water Supply, with more than a decade of planning, successfully flooded the valley and a number of nearby villages, displacing nearly one thousand people and permanently altering the course of the lives of the former residents who said goodbye to the place they called home. To date, this was the last in a series of nineteen reservoirs that were constructed, spanning more than a century, each displacing numerous communities and adding to the complex network of interconnected water infrastructure to supply New York City with necessary drinking water from upstate. Amidst political turmoil the families of the valley vacated, but in the sixty years following these events the trauma, animosity and anger has not subsided. Run time 21 minutes.
At the close of the films, the audience will be invited to a question and answer time with the film maker and producer, Charles Cadkin. Learn more about each film and the film maker at https://www.cadkin.net/.
