MATINEE MOVIE 1925 DOCUMENTARY “GRASS”

Special Matinee Movie

Join us Saturday, January 27 at 2 PM for a special movie matinee screening of the 1925 documentary “Grass”. Local resident and author Susan Richards will be here to discuss her grandmother’s film. “In 1924, neophyte filmmakers Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack—later to achieve cinematic immortality as the makers of KING KONG—joined forces with journalist and spy Marguerite Harrison and set off to film an adventure. They found excitement, danger, and drama in the migration of the Bakhtiari nomads of Persia (now Iran). Twice a year, more than fifty thousand people and half a million animals surmounted seemingly impossible obstacles—braving the icy, raging waters of the half-mile-wide Karun River and winding their way up the side of the sheer, snow-covered rock face of the fifteen-thousand-foot-high Zardeh Kuh mountain—to take their herds to pasture. Risking their own lives in the process, Cooper and Schoedsack captured astonishing, unforgettable images of courage and determination and created one of the cinema’s first great documentaries” ~ Criterion Channel. All are welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
