WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, March 13, the Clark Art Institute continues its Small Town film series with a screening of "George Washington" (2000) at 6 pm in the Manton Research Center.

 

According to a press release:

 

This film unfolds during a balmy July in a North Carolina town where kudzu embraces abandoned buildings. Four children at the edge of adolescence make a mistake that cannot be undone. They are forced to grow up, albeit only partially. One of them, George (Donald Holden), emerges as a local hero. Sublimely narrated by the twelve-year-old Nasia (Candace Evanofski), George Washington is about the relationship between choice and chance, and the aspirations that still prevail outside of it. Made on a shoestring budget with non-actors, David Gordon Green succeeds in directing a debut film unlike any other. (Run time: 1 hour, 29 minutes)

 

Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524.
