2008 Special Events
The annual Margaret Mead Film and Video Festival, held in New York City’s Museum of Natural History, features a broad spectrum of cultural documentary. Each year the Traveling Festival brings highlights from the Mead Festival to locations across the globe. This year’s GMFF, supported in part by the Vermont Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities, presents three films from the Mead Festival: THE BIRTHDAY, CHINA BLUE, and SUPER AMIGOS.
Crankies are a low-tech form of moving picture that has thrived in pockets around Vermont. This is the first of what the organizers hope might become an annual celebration of the crankie, timed to coincide with the last day of the 11th Green Mountain Film Festival – Sunday, March 30, 2008
T.W. Wood Gallery and Art Center, Montpelier
