Film: FAR OUT: LIFE ON & AFTER THE COMMUNE at Real Art Ways

In 1968, a group of political radicals left New York City for the country and became organic farmers, founding two communes in Guilford, VT, and Montague, MA​. This is the story of how the commune became a community.

This documentary captures communal life in the 70s and traces fifty years in the lives of a group of New England writers, activists, and artists. The story centers on how these “hippies” transformed Vermont and western Massachusetts and how rural life and the people they met changed them.

On Saturday, Nov 23, we will host filmmaker Charles Light, writer, poet, and performer Verandah Porche, and singer and musician Patty Carpenter for a Q&A post-screening.
