"Turning Pages" presents a vibrant mosaic of 25 candidly intimate portraits of a generation of individuals who struggled with Vietnam, redefined identity and gender roles, entered or left relationships, went to work, raised families and are still seeking to live authentically with optimism as they face their seventh decade.

The film will be previewed on Saturday, Sept. 29, on the Proctor's Theatre main stage at 2 p.m. The screning is free and open to the public.

Photographer Bob Van Degna, artist Anna VA Polesny and journalist Don Wilcock filmed and interviewed 1962 Niskayuna High School graduates from California to Massachusetts, Florida to Oregon. The interviewees’ unblinking admissions, observations and advice will surprise you. The lives they have lived and their plans for the future will astonish.

This engaging documentary takes you from World War II to world terrorism and thrums not with hard rock or strident voices of protest, but with the compassion of folks who emerged from the world of “Father Knows Best” to live, 50 years later, with eyes and hearts wide open.

The screening, which is taking place as part of the Class of 1962's reunion this weekend, will be followed by a reception. There will be time to meet the filmmakers for questions, discussion and feedback after the preview.
