On Monday, October 26, 2026, the Bulloch County Historical Society brought its 2026 meeting year to a delicious close with a little Southern cooking, some family tradition, and, as always, local history. Approximately 40 members and guests gathered in the Pittman Park United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall for lunch and a special program titled “Delicious Dishes for the Dearly Departed.” The program featured Virginia Anne Waters , Executive Director of BCHS, and BCHS President Tyson Davis . Before the program, attendees enjoyed visiting and catching up over a luncheon prepared by A Touch of Class by Annette. The menu featured tossed salad, sliced roast beef with gravy, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, yeast rolls with butter, peach cobbler, and assorted beverages. Following lunch, Waters introduced the special video presentation, filmed earlier in her home kitchen alongside Davis.

Shalom Y’all Jewish Food Festival Returns Sunday

Who: Congregation Mickve Israel hosts the 37th Annual Shalom Y’all Jewish Food Festival, powered by a small army of volunteers. What: One of Savannah’s most popular food events of the year.

Save room for blintz soufflé, honey cake, hamentaschen, fresh challah, and treats from the Sisterhood Sweet Shop. Wash it down with a traditional egg cream, Dr. Brown’s soda, beer, or wine. Add live entertainment and family-friendly activities, and you’ve got Southern hospitality with a Jewish twist.

Artisans Break Down the Tricks and Treats of Designing a Trojan Horse at SCAD Savannah Film Festival

As part of the SCAD Savannah Film Festival , IndieWire’s Future of Filmmaking team presents “Behind Their Lens,” a series of panel discussions with some of the most exciting artisans, directors, and producers of 2026. On the artisans panel, “ The Odyssey ” production designer Ruth de Jong, “Paper Tiger” and “ I Play Rocky ” costume designer Amy Roth, and “ Disclosure Day ” editor Sarah Broshar spoke to students and guests about their process and approaches towards each of their particular corners of the giant puzzle that is putting a film together. Ruth Madeley Never Thought Acting Was an Option -- Now, She's Playing a Disability Rights Legend in 'Being Heumann' But there was one thing that united all of them, across their different creative disciplines, and that was the importance of (sometimes quite literally) climbing hilltops to create a sense of authentic surprise. If a costume designer can delight a director without being asked for something specific, then the movie is alive. If the editor’s intuitive sense of rhythm is working in harmony with the footage that’s been shot, then in a lot of respects the film is showing the post team what it wants to be.
