A Postcard from Lily Dale is the story of NYC Artist Marshall Arisman, whose creative life was highly influenced by his grandmother – a noted and gifted medium who lived in the Spiritualist WNY community of Lily Dale. The film follows Arisman as he returns to the village of Lily Dale. Using archival footage and outtakes from a documentary on his work and process, along with photographs and interviews with recent Lily Dale mediums, the film explores the personal link between Arisman’s own creative output and the impact that his early immersion into Spiritualism is realized in his thinking and his work. The film also explores some of the history of Spiritualism, and how it influenced the work of writers and artists of the early Twentieth Century – William Yeats, Aldous Huxley, and prominent artists such as Kupka and Kandinsky. Arisman will introduce A Postcard from Lily Dale and also will lead a talk-back and Q&A following its screening.
