Far Out – One night only November 1 at 7 pm
Far Out: Life On & After the Commune, an 85 minute documentary, tells the story of two rural New England communal farms. The film will show on Friday, November 1st at the Peterborough Community Theater, 6 School Street, at 7PM. The showing will include a discussion with director Charles Light; Verandah Porche, a member of the Packer Corners farm; and Patty Carpenter, who along with Verandah, composed most of the original music.
Fresh from a month long run at the Latchis Theater in Brattleboro which set a 25 year record for a single night sales at over 500 tickets sold. It played to a sold out house at the Newburyport Film Festival where it was awarded Best New England Feature. Far Out has been showcased at the Monadnock Film Festival in Keene as well as invited to the Vermont International Film Festival.
Blending contemporary interviews and a remarkable trove of original archival footage, Far Out is lively, humorous, inspiring and irreverent. The point of view is honest rather than nostalgic. The film is vital, telling the history but hewing to the universal themes of how we grapple–over a lifetime–with politics, relationships, morality, spirituality, civic engagement and finding our home.
