Part of the "Cinema in Conversation: Food for Thought" film series, sponsored by the Colby Center for the Arts and Humanities, Voices from the Barrens is a stunning portrait of the Wabanaki and their participation in the largest wild blueberry harvest in the world. In interviews with the tribal-owned company and elders from the Canadian Wabanaki, the film documents the Passamaquoddy Tribe’s struggle to find a necessary balance between traditional work and the realities of tribal financial independence. Director Nancy Ghertner will attend for a post-film Q+A.

FILM

DON'T WORRY DARLING

Railroad Square Cinema
Scheduled to start September 23
$10.50 evenings, $9.00 matinées
This film is eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund.

Arguably the year’s most stylish cast drives a mesmerizing and riveting story to help make Don't Worry Darling a must-see cinema experience. The story may recall The Stepford Wives but spins off in a much more 21st century direction, as a 1950s housewife living with her husband in a utopian experimental community begins to worry that his glamorous company may be hiding disturbing secrets. Hint: Yup, they may indeed! Harry Styles, Florence Pugh, Olivia Wilde (who also directed), and Chris Pine are among those in this memorable film’s community.
