Woodstock VT Film Series: Far Out: Life on & After the Commune

January 17 & 18 | 3 PM   

Far Out: Life On & After a Commune traces fifty years in the lives of a group of radical journalists, writers, and artists who left New York City in 1968 to establish two rural communes in Vermont and Western Massachusetts. What began as an experiment in communal living and organic farming became a catalyst for the back-to-the-land and anti-nuclear movements. From the fields of Guilford, VT and Montague, MA to the front lines of the “No Nukes” protests, the film reveals how these idealists helped reshape rural New England, and how the land, in turn, reshaped them. 

Q&A with director Charles Light following the January 17 screening.
