Bushel, 106 Main Street, Delhi, will present a double feature Friday, July 28, as its July community film pick, in conjunction with current exhibition, “Waiting In the Deep.”
“Wild River” starring Montgomery Clift and Barbara Loden, is part melodrama, part land-rights film that looks at property seizures to build the TVA dam. It is also an unvarnished picture of racism in the South.
“Beneath Pepacton Waters recounts stories of both ‘progress’ and loss as it captures the lives of people in Shavertown and the surrounding area just before the dam comes in. This rarely shown film — narrated by Alice Jacobson — is bucolic, melancholic, and aching.
Doors at 6:45 p.m.; screening begins at 7. This program is free to attend. Thanks to Jennifer Kabat for selecting this duo of films.
