    Orpheum Theatre of Upstate Films

    156 Main St., Saugerties Saugerties

    John Carpenter’s cult classic They Live (1988) mixes pulpy sci-fi thrills with sharp social satire. Roddy Piper stars as a drifter who discovers a pair of sunglasses that expose the world’s hidden truth: billboards and broadcasts pulsing with subliminal commands, and wealthy elites revealed as skull-faced aliens manipulating society. Part action flick, part political commentary, the film is remembered for its iconic imagery, its critique of consumerism and inequality, and an infamously long fight scene with co-star Keith David.

    Through Nov. 2, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.

    Olana State Historic Site

    5720 Route 9G, Hudson Hudson

    FREE
    Olana is the most intact historic artist’s environment in the U.S., encompassing the Main House, historic farm complex, and 250-acre landscape designed by Frederic Church. Despite its preservation, several structures from Church’s time were removed before Olana became a landmark. Their absence erased stories of those who built and used them. Foundations, archaeological evidence, photographs, maps, or oral histories remain. These buildings vanished, but their stories live in the landscape. For "What’s Missing?" The Olana Partnership commissioned Ellen Harvey and Gabriela Salazar to create site-specific artworks responding to these missing pieces of Olana’s landscape history. olana.org/whatsmissing 518-751-0344
