‘Far Out: Life On & After the Commune’
(NR; 1 hour, 25 minutes)
This special event documentary screening tells the story of two rural New England communal farms, tracing 50 years in the lives of a group of New England writers, activists, and artists. It conveys not only how these “hippies” transformed Vermont and western Massachusetts, but also how rural life and the people they met changed them.
“Far Out” paints an intimate portrait of how this group of artists and activists dealt with the pressing issues of the day – gay and women’s rights, sexual freedom, nuclear power, raising children, the role of the family – to the realities of life, relationships, and money in an anarchic communal setting.
Following the film, join filmmaker Charles Light along with special guests Verandah Porche, a poet and commune resident; and Patty Carpenter, music composer and performer; for a postscreening discussion.
Playing for one show only Thursday, July 24 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for Lincoln Theater members, and $5 for youth ages 18 and under.
