ICON Thursday Video Dec. 20 a unique experimental historical drama, Russian Ark

R ussian filmmaker Alexander Sokurov broke boundaries with his dreamlike vision of the Hermitage in St. Peters-

burg, Russian Ark. It’s the first feature-length narrative film shot in a single take (on digital video, using a specially de-signed disc instead of tape). Roger Ebert called it “one of the most astonishing films ever made.”

Russian Ark (96 minutes) is shot from the point-of-view of an unseen narrator, as he explores the museum and travels through Russian history. The audience sees through his eyes as he witnesses Peter the Great (Maksim Sergeyev) abusing one of his generals; Catherine the Great (Maria Kuznetsova) desperately searching for a bathroom; and, in the grand finale, the sumptuous Great Royal Ball of 1913. The narrator is even-tually joined by a sarcastic and eccentric 19th century French Marquis (Sergey Dreiden), who travels with him throughout the huge grounds, encountering various historical figures and viewing the legendary artworks on display. While the narrator only interacts with the Marquis (he seems to be invisible to all the other inhabitants), the Marquis occasionally interacts with visitors and former residents of the museum.

The film was obviously shot in one day, but the cast and crew rehearsed for months to time their movements precisely with the flow of the camera while capturing the complex nar-rative, with elaborate costumes from different periods, and several trips out to the exterior of the museum. Tilman Büt-tner, the director of photography, was responsible for captur-ing it all in one single Steadicam shot.

The video begins at 8 p.m. sharp. Doors open at 7:30 for free refreshments. ICON Thursday is free to ICON members. Others are asked for a a $2 donation.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Eveningby Robert FrostWhose woods these are I think I know.His house is in the village, though;He will not see me stopping hereTo watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse nearBetween the woods and frozen lakeThe darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake. The only other sounds the sweepOf easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

City Council: End of Year Report

A s 2018 draws to a close we can look back at some of

our many successful city proj-ects and look ahead to a pro-ductive 2019. While the city will always work to improve quality of living with new amenities, our focus of late has been on infrastructure. 2017’s Ameri-can Infrastructure Report Card grade of D+ confirms this is a nationwide issue, one that local governments must address.

Improving city streets will be a high priority in the coming years. The city’s annual funding for street repair is limited to Road Use Tax Funds and a portion of Local Option Sales Tax rev-enue. Grants and partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies help fund spe-cial projects, and for large-scale street im-provements the city must borrow through the sale of bonds. 2010 street improve-ment debt will soon be paid off, which will allow the city to issue new bonds for future street improvements.

2018 street improvements include: • Resurfacing East Buchanan, Sout Maple, North Park, and South Park; • 227th paving and Highway 1 turn lane (in partnership with Jefferson County and the Iowa DOT); • Tyler Avenue and South Court Street ex-tensions (funding through Tax Increment Financing); • East Adams Avenue reconstruction.

In February, an engineering selection committee will choose a firm to complete the design work for the Highway 1 from Fillmore Avenue to Libertyville Road

3-lane conversion project, with construction beginning in 2021.

Fairfield is a pilot city in the Iowa Department of Trans-portation’s Local Road Safety Program. This study identifies causes or potentially causes of traffic crashes, such as speed, sight distance, need for barri-ers, or lighting. The final report provides suggested improve-ments which can be imple-mented as funding allows.

Fairfield’s dysfunctional wastewater system was discussed, but not acted on, by city councils as far back as the 1970s. Mounting pressure from the Environ-mental Protection Agency and Iowa De-partment of Natural Resources required the city to develop and implement an improvement plan. Extensive upgrades at our Wastewater Treatment Plant are nearly complete, STEP I sewer line re-placement is complete, and STEP II is in the planning stages for 2019 construction. These improvements will bring our waste-water system in compliance with state and federal law and prepare our city for future growth.

In 2019 look for more opportunities to provide input on the city’s new Com-prehensive Plan. For those interested in a 15-minute review of city happenings, check out Fairfield Media Center’s new-est show, City Biz. Lastly, Local Option Sales Tax grants for area non-profits are due January 11. See the city website www.cityoffairfieldiowa.com for details.

Happy Holidays!

around eating pizza. Another is a danc-er. Yet another is a cartoon pig from the Looney Toons universe (Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham). The animation alters to reflect the different universes of these various Spider-People. If they don’t seal off the rift in the dimensional totality (or whatever it is), reality itself may dis-solve or something. So they have to band together, like all good superheroes in all good superhero movies. But they relate to each-other like real people, and we develop sympathy for each of them. The emotional core of this movie makes it real and timeless.

The voice talent is wonderful here, including Shameik Moore (Miles), Jake Johnson (Peter Parker), Hailee Steinfeld (Spider-Gwen), Liev Schreiber (King-pin), Mahershala Ali (Uncle Aaron), Lily Tomlin (Aunt May), Nicholas Cage (Spi-derman Noir), Kathryn Hahn (Doc Ock), and Chris Pine (Peter Parker).

This movie is recommended for all audiences, 5 stars, two raised thumbs. I hereby add it to my list of the best animat-ed movies ever made (which include Spir-ited Away and Loving Vincent), and to my list of movies that I will see at least twice in the theater, and then again on my own copy of the DVD/Blue-Ray disk at home.

Thank you!

Dear friends,

N earing the fourth year of involve-ment with the complex refugee situ-

ation in Greece, I now reach out to our community for contribution. With your generosity, Lesvos Refugee Project has been vital in allowing me to operate in this humanitarian capacity.

A Phoenix RisingThousands remain in flimsy tents or

worse, as many are now approaching their third winter in Greece. However, there are tangible solution-based programs rising amidst incoherence. The biggest prog-ress now is by small uncompromising grassroots groups taking the reins with innovative initiatives, making significant difference amidst a stagnant lack of multi-government leadership. Through Lesvos Refugee Project, those are the groups I partner with now.

We work with unaccompanied mi-nors, mostly teens, removing them from an unspeakably horrible refugee camp situation.. As funds allow, these kids are placed in safe housing and attending an alternative school with qualified retired school teachers. Some students will even resume their education plans and apply to Greek university soon. All this is because well-meaning donors have teamed with well-meaning volunteers working on site.

Return to GreeceI return to Greece again soon. With

your donation, I will buy and distribute textbooks for 400+ students. We will also start a healthy afternoon school snack program. Their engaged minds need fuel! You have never seen such happiness in teens, now safe, arriving to a structured school program each morning.

Additionally, on Lesvos and in Ath-ens area, I now partner with two groups addressing women’s empowerment pro-grams. If you go to www.LesvosRefu-geeProject.com you can see the targeted scope of partnerships.

Humanity MattersSomeone asked me, “What do I get

out of doing this [refugee] work?” My re-ply was, “I have fallen in love with human-ity.” It is a precious privilege, this being one with humanity.

Your donations make all of this hap-pen. I hope you can imagine how even small contributions make a huge differ-ence in affecting change for these most vulnerable. Our world only benefits.

Much love and gratitude,Stacey Kitakis, DirectorLesvos Refugee Projectwww.LesvosRefugeeProject.comLesvosRefugeeProject@gmail.com

MOVIE REVIEw: SPIDERMAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE By DuNCAN H. BrowN (Duncanbrown108@yahoo.com)

Speak up Now for a Clean, Green Iowa – January 5 kick off with special guest David OsterbergBy Diane Rosenberg

D o you want to have an influence on which factory farm and climate crisis laws are passed in Iowa? Find out how you can be an effective citizen advocate at the Kick-

off of Speak Up Now for a Clean, Green Iowa (SUN) on Saturday, January 5, 2 p.m. at the Fairfield Public Library.

Guest speaker David Osterberg, co-founder of the Iowa Policy Project and a former Iowa state representative, will speak on the need for citizen advocates and how to get your message heard by state legislators.

Big Ag spent over $500,000 this year alone lobbying for state laws that benefit the corpo-rate hog industry. Energy companies also spent big dollars, and energy efficiency programs were peeled back this year. State legislators need to hear directly from more concerned constituents with an interest in protecting the environment, and not just corporations with enormous lobbying budgets. It’s time to give citizens a bigger voice.

SUN is organizing a volunteer citizens group that will send at least two members each week to the Iowa State House in Des Moines to speak with legislators on factory farm and climate crisis legislation to protect our environment. Our goal is to have enough citizen advocates so that indi-viduals will travel to Des Moines once or twice between mid-January and the end of April. SUN will provide talking points on specific legislation so you’ll go armed with solid information, but you don’t need to be an ex-pert. It’s your personal story that legislators want to hear.

The January 5 meeting will provide an opportunity to learn how the lobbying pro-cess works in Des Moines (it’s easy and fun) and will go over how to be an effective citizen advocate. You’ll be able to sign up to be an advocate and schedule a week that works for you.

The legislative session starts January 14, and we’ll begin making visits to the State Capital shortly thereafter on a rotating basis.

David Osterberg is no stranger to the State House or environmental issues. He served as Iowa State Representative for 12 years and was chairman of the House Energy and Environmental Protection and Agricultural Committees. Osterberg co-founded the Iowa Policy Project in 2001 and served as its executive director until June 2013. He currently researches and authors IPP reports and speaks widely on their findings. Osterberg has an MA in water resources, another in agricultural economics, and is cur-rently a professor in the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health at the University of Iowa.

For more information, contact SUN via email at SUNSEIowa@gmail.com or call Diane Rosenberg at 641-472-9332 or Mary Tarnoff at 641-919-0130.

S piderman: Into the Spider-Verse is an astonishingly lovely, original, amaz-

ing, and heartfelt story. It’s also a com-ics’ superhero movie, and its animated to boot. The movie features mind-bending graphics, a plethora of different anima-tion styles, a diverse array of characters, and a story that hooks you and doesn’t let go. It also has humor, pathos, and the fears and awkwardness of a young boy having to grow up all too quickly.

The animation is amazing and mind-bending. There’s so much coming at you from every side that you can only process a fraction of the firehose of visual and graphic information exploding in every instant. I can see this film being picked over frame-by-frame by a movie critic like the late Roger Ebert, reviewing with stu-dents all the things that are presented and achieved by the directors and animators.

If you’re into su-perheroes comics, this film is a no-brainer. It bottles up the almost indefinable quality that keeps you coming back comic after comic; the feeling that the artist can somehow animate a series of static two-di-mensional drawings on a page and turn them into something that comes alive and lives and breathes. This is the affirmation you’ve been looking for.

If you’re into superhero movies, again, this film is a no-brainer. It expresses what makes superheroes interesting to us (someone who steps up and does what has to be done to protect everyone and keep the dark forces at bay, if only for a little while). They are superheroes partly be-cause they have some special powers, but mostly because they care, they step up and volunteer, and try to make a difference.

If you’re into art, and in particu-lar the work of comic artist Steve Ditko, this movie is the answer to your wildest dreams. Ditko created amazing visual worlds in the comics he drew. His visual style might best be summarized as “psy-chedelic”, particularly in comic books like his series “Shade, The Changing Man.” This movie constitutes a reverential out-pouring of visual quotes of his style and “look.” He passed away this year at age 90.

While many of the scenes in this film depict violence and conflict, it doesn’t feel like a violent film. There is too much hu-

mor and too many references to things that comic fans and superhero fans have heard before. For instance, in the first Spi-derman film we heard the quote, “With great power comes great responsibility.” In this movie we hear references to this quote, but not in pontific self-important tones, but among characters who a) know the quote, and b) are very tired of hear-ing it.

This movie is also one of the final bows for Marvel Comics head Stan Lee, who also passed away this year at age 95. In every Marvel superhero movie to date, Stan Lee is inserted in a cameo. He’s a pe-destrian getting on a bus in one movie; in another he’s getting out of a taxi. (The late director Alfred Hitchcock, by the way, in-serted himself for a brief cameo in each of his films.) I’m going to miss watching out for Stan Lee appearances in the Marvel

films; in this one he says some simple and wise words to the young boy who’s trying to fill the very big shoes of Spider-man.

I do not want to give away much at all about the plot—it’s unfolding is one of the signal delights of this film. Suffice to say it’s set in Brooklyn, NY, and follows a young kid, Miles, a part-time juvenile delinquent

due to his love of spraying graffiti on buildings. That his Dad is a NYPD police-man doesn’t make things any easier. He’s a typical awkward kid, yearning for accep-tance and friendship and afraid of looking stupid. Then there’s the day that he gets bitten by a radioactive spider and develops curious powers. Suddenly his hands and feet are real sticky. So, of course he gets his hands stuck in the blond hair of the pretty girl he met in school. Ouch! Other superpowers begin to surface, confusing Miles and filling him with fear. Then sud-denly he meets the real Spiderman, who is in the midst of trying to save the universe from an interdimensional rift created by the terrible villain Kingpin and his fiend-ish henchman (henchwoman?) Doc Ock. Miles is afraid to get involved.

Things don’t go well, and suddenly Spider-people from other dimensions show up in Miles’ universe. One is from an anime world in the future and rides around in a cute robot. One is from the 1930s, and is Noir Spiderman (in black and white, of course). One is a washed up has-been who’s overweight and sits
