Movie Still, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Movie Still from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
The history of a place comingles the place its residents know and the place that outsiders see. We documented what we see last summer in the town-wide photography project Midnight to Midnight: Northampton's Self-Portrait in 48 Hours. But what do they see?
This program will explore how Northampton has been portrayed in six feature films: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), The Reincarnation of Peter Proud (1975), Malice (1992), In Dreams (1997), The Cider House Rules (1998) and Edge of Darkness (2010).
Following excerpts from the films, local historian and former Northwestern District Attorney W. Michael Ryan will lead a discussion and show contemporary still images of the filming locations.
The Fast Forward Film Series is free and open to the public. The screening will take place in Historic Northampton's newly enlarged 45-seat program space.
