October 1-3The New Yorker Festival
Today's secret words are alter ego: Paul Reubens, the artist known forever in our hearts as Pee-wee Herman, will make a rare out-of-character appearance as himself for a public interview as part of the 11th annual New Yorker Festival in October, its organizers said on Tuesday. Other performers and authors who will appear in conversations with that magazine's contributors include the "Office" star Steve Carell, the actress Patricia Clarkson, the musician James Taylor, the fantasy writer Neil Gaiman and the filmmaker Werner Herzog. The festival, which runs from Oct. 1 through 3, will also feature panel discussions on "Saturday Night Live," with Seth Meyers and other cast members, and moderated by The New Yorker editor, David Remnick; vampires in popular culture, featuring Stephen King and the "Twilight" screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and moderated by Joan Acocella; and the rise of the political right, with the FreedomWorks chairman Dick Armey, Representative Anthony Weiner, Democrat of New York, the CNBC host Rick Santelli and The New Yorker's Jill Lepore, also moderated by Mr. Remnick. The New Yorker Talks series will feature lectures by Ken Auletta on the impact of Google and the Internet on the media, Atul Gawande on end-of-life care, Paul Goldberger on architecture, Alex Ross on bass lines in music history and James Surowiecki on "talent and context in a random world." Other events include fiction discussions and poetry readings, a live version of The New Yorker's cartoon caption contest, book signings and a tasting walk from from Greenwich Village to Chinatown led by Calvin Trillin. A full lineup for the festival will be posted at newyorker.com/festival. Tickets for events can be purchased there beginning Sept. 10 at noon. For more information please visit the New Yorker Festival website.

October 27-31 The Greek Film Festival
The Hellenic-American Chamber of Commerce was formed over 50 years ago for the purpose of promoting and strengthening the economic and cultural ties between the United States of America and Greece. Since that time, our organization has grown and its scope has broadened beyond the express purpose of fostering and developing commercial and trade relations between Greece and the United States. Beyond its traditional commercial role, the Chamber administered the "George E. Athans Scholarship Fund" (prior to entrusting it to the Office of Financial Aid at New York University), and continues to assist in the selection of its recipients. The Chamber honorees for achievement have not been limited to commerce but have come from the arts and politics as well. The Chamber has co-sponsored investment seminars and hosted political leaders. The Chamber today is a multifaceted organization that offers different things to different people and provides a network and forum for its members to meet, interact, and exchange ideas. It is a vehicle from which to gain an additional perspective. this website.

September 20-25New York Television Festival
The NYTVF was founded in 2005 as the industry's first recognized independent television festival, providing a platform to elevate the work of artists creating for the small screen. Held annually each fall in New York City, the birthplace of modern television, the Festival unites artists, executives, industry figures, and fans together in one forum to celebrate the medium and to help shape its future. The NYTVF's Independent Pilot Competition has established a pipeline allowing producers, writers, and directors to showcase their original TV pilots directly to the decision-makers of the industry. In its first three years, the Festival has featured acclaimed independent pilots that were purchased by networks such as NBC Universal, A&E, and Versus, and that landed a number of TV producers and creators in meetings with major networks and production companies. The NYTVF offers the next generation of storytellers unprecedented access to development executives and producers looking for the next hit show. All you need is an idea and a video camera. Along with the Independent Pilot Competition, the Festival presents parties, seminars, and other special events designed to honor television as an institution and as an art form. In 2006, the Festival launched its first "Premiere Week" screening series, which last year featured star-studded, red-carpet debuts of new fall shows from major networks such as NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS, The CW, and HBO. In 2008, the NYTVF launched its first ever Industry Day, inviting some of the biggest names in the industry to discuss contemporary issues and future trends affecting both casual fans and TV insiders. The inaugural Digital Day was also presented with MSN, providing a forum for discussions and screenings highlighting the creative frontiers of digital serialized content. With new platforms and technologies outpacing the current supply of programming, there has never been a better opportunity for aspiring television creators to have their voices heard. The NYTVF spotlights talented artists with the vision and creativity to invigorate the television landscape. Now, for the first time, the doors to television are open.
