Shorts July 28, 2005 Free land for free people During the radical fervor of the late 1960s and early 1970s, utopian communities dotted the American landscape. They aimed to reshape the world with “free love” and common property. Though the idea of communes is now often relegated to a naive past, “Commune” discovers a successful and lasting, if controversial, legacy at the influential Black Bear Ranch in California. Premised on the idea of “free land for free people,” and financed by the largesse of Hollywood rock stars, the founders of Black Bear bought land deep in the wilderness and raised a rough-hewn homestead. With archival footage from the early days, and the present-day views of Black Bear members and their offspring, “COMMUNE” is a revealing look at our most basic choices about family, work, and the nature of our relationships. The film features herbalist Michael Tierra, who is credited with rediscovering echinacea; internationally renowned painter Elsa Marley; and actor Peter Coyote. “Commune,” Thursday, July 28, 8 pm, Katharine Cornell Theatre, Spring Street, Vineyard Haven. Q&A with director follows. Doors open at 7:15 pm. Tickets $8 or $6 for members. Call 508-696-9369 or visit www.mvfilmsociety.com. |
