Imber's Left Hand: Documentary Screening & Talkback at The Angel Nyack | Theater | Museum

On a brisk January evening in Nyack, New York, the town’s arts pulse converges at The Angel Nyack for a screening of “Imber’s Left Hand,” followed by a talkback with director Richard Kane and artist Jill Hoy. Located at 18 S. Broadway, the Angel’s Pitkin Room becomes an intimate auditorium where local collectors, museum members, and curious visitors gather to watch the film that tracks painter Jon Imber’s determination to keep making work after an ALS diagnosis. The event also offers ticket holders early access to two nearby exhibitions — the Edward Hopper House Museum at 82 N. Broadway and Perry Lawson Fine Art at 90 N. Broadway — turning a single night into a compact cultural walk through Nyack’s historic downtown. The program is short and sharp: doors open at 5:45 PM, optional gallery visits and light refreshments run from 5:00–5:45, and the screening and post-film discussion take place from 6:00–8:00 PM. The Pitkin Room’s low ceiling and close seating make the talkback particularly compelling; Kane and Hoy are able to unpack creative choices, the logistics of shooting with an artist living with ALS, and the emotional architecture of Imber’s late work. For visitors who care about context, the Edward Hopper House nearby is an essential stop — the 19th-century house preserves the birthplace and studio of one of America’s most influential painters, anchoring Nyack’s contemporary exhibitions in a longer art history. What makes this evening unique is the combination of documentary cinema, first-person testimony, and the short walking radius between venues. The Hudson River waterfront lies two blocks away, offering a quick pre-show stroll with views over the estuary and migratory waterfowl. The small group cap (50) and accessible venue mean the experience is friendly to older audiences and those using mobility devices. Practical details: arrive early to visit the exhibits and grab refreshments, and expect conversational seating rather than stadium-style rows. The talkback will focus on process and resilience; recording policies may be restricted to protect speakers. Local eateries and antiques shops on Broadway create a lively post-event scene if you want to extend the night. This screening is more than a film showing — it’s an act of civic support for local culture, a chance to see contemporary artists in conversation, and a way to experience Nyack’s compact cultural map in one purposeful evening. If you’re coming from New York City, the village is an easy 45–60 minute drive or a short commuter-rail and bus hop; on-street parking near the Angel can fill quickly, so plan to arrive thirty minutes early. Tickets may include access to both galleries; check the event page for accommodations and any last-minute changes and enjoy the conversation.
