Fall Film Series offered at Stone Valley Arts in Downtown Poultney.

Stone Valley Arts will host a film series this fall expanding their busy schedule of cultural programs for the community. The Fall Film Series will feature award- winning classic films from the 1930s -1970s including musicals, dramas, and silent films. Two films will be shown each month, screenings Friday nights at 7pm and Sunday afternoons at 3pm and will be followed by a brief discussion. A suggested donation of $5 per person is asked, and free refreshments will be provided. All films will take place at Stone Valley Arts, 145 East Main Street Poultney VT.  

The Fall Film Series will begin Sunday September 11th at 3pm featuring Charlie Chaplain’s “City Lights”, a silent film with Leslie Klami providing live piano accompaniment.

This film series was created by a group of volunteers from Stone Valley Arts who missed the opportunity to engage and discuss films with others. They decided to start off this series of film programming by sharing
favorites from the Public Domain and to see if it captures interest from the community. It is their hope that the series will draw young and old to appreciate classic films as an art form. Volunteers and film buffs are welcome to join their efforts, setting up screenings, introducing films, leading discussions, and planning for a winter or spring series.
