old Spring became “Hollywood CNortheast” on Monday (June 8) as the hit Showtime television series The Affair came to town to shoot a number of scenes along Main Street. Location Scout Riley Malone told The Paper that crews arrived in Cold Spring around 5 o’clock that morning and didn’t leave the village until about 8:30 in the evening. Seventy- five to 100 actors, extras, videographers, lighting and sound technicians, production managers and property assistants turned Main Street into one long stage. Scenes were shot in five different locales, including inside The Foundry Cafe, where the interior was given a facelift in the days prior to shooting, courtesy of Showtime. The episode will air this fall as part of The Affair’s second season. The series stars Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, Maura Tierney and Joshua Jackson. Showtime paid a fee of $900 to the Village of Cold Spring as well as $50 per hour to cover the cost of additional policing required for traffic control. The company also provided a refundable deposit to cover the cost of any additional garbage pickup. Businesses Top, inset, lead actress Ruth Wilson receives a last-minute touch-up to hair and makeup just before a scene is shot. and property owners directly affected by the Above, the corner of Kemble Avenue and Main Street was one of five locales where scenes were shot.

he distance between the West African nation of Sierra Leone and TBeacon, New York, is not measurable in kilometers or miles. It’s a distance traversing just about every gulf imagin- able, yet it will be bridged, in a small but important way, by the Sierra Leone Refugee All-Stars (SLRA), a band formed in the same dire circumstances that exist today across the globe: out of a civil war, with displacement and tragedy far beyond the comprehension of both those directly affected by it and those who learn of it from afar. The band comes to Beacon as the headline act of the 2015 Riverfest, which will be held on June 28 from noon until 8 p.m. They tour the world (the Riverfest performance, along with one in the Bronx, is sandwiched between shows on the island of Réunion, in the Indian Ocean, and a string of European dates) and were the subject of an eponymous 2005 documentary, which will screen Wednesday, June 17, at 8 p.m. at Beacon’s CineHub, 20 West Main St. A preshow reception, open to all, will be held at 2 Way Brewing Company next door.
