Small Town Film Series: George Washington

Date/Time

Location

The Clark Art Institute (225 South Street, Williamstown, MA 01267, Williamstown MA)

The Clark presents the Small Town Film Series, highlighting the unique charm of small towns.

The series continues with “George Washington” (2000). This film unfolds during a balmy July in a North Carolina town, one where kudzu embraces abandoned buildings. Four children, at the edge of adolescence, make a mistake that cannot be undone. They are forced to grow up, albeit only partially. Narrated by the twelve-year-old Nasia (Candace Evanofski), “George Washington” is about the relationship between choice and chance, and the aspirations that still prevail outside of it. (Run time: 1 hour, 29 minutes)

Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524.
