The Nyack-based group “Rivertown Film” is marking 15 years of cinema appreciation this month.

In addition to “Frankenstein,” which Rivertown Film is presenting along with ArtsRock and Arts Angels, the anniversary slate includes a free screening of “Mary Poppins” at the Artopee Way “Drive-In” on September 9, and two Meet-the-Filmmaker events: “Captain Fantastic” on Wednesday, September 21 at Suffern’s Lafayette Theater, with producers Declan Baldwin (a Rockland resident) and Nimitt Mankad present, and “On Meditation,” on Saturday, October 1 at the Nyack Center. Director Rebecca Dreyfus (also a Rockland native) will participate in a post-film discussion, and there will be a 10 minute group meditation geared to first-timers.
Rivertown Film has several celebrities from Rockland County on its advisory board including Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Demme and actor Stephen Baldwin.
