The Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library, in cooperation with the Library’s Film. & Video Festival, will host a Film Premiere for Local Solutions in the Champlain Adirondack Biosphere, a video documentary series filmed and produced by the Folklife Center, thanks to major support from a 2024 Special Programs Grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership.There will be 2 shows on Tuesday, October 7, 2:30 & 6:30 pm, in the library’s Community Room off the Folklife Gallery on the bottom floor. Plans are to have film makers present for questions.
Between showings (4:30-6:30) there will be a reception for the film makers and participants in the Folklife Gallery, within its current exhibition, Night Markets & Street Food: A Taste of Lanna Culture of Northern Thailand, on view through December 31, 2025.
Begun in 2024, the original video series begins to provide an intimate look at the positive activities that move us towards a more sustainable future in our regional biosphere. We showcase a diversity of voices and activities working locally in their own ways to achieve the sustainable goals as outlined by UNESCO https://www.unesco.org/en/mab/wnbr/about
Several independent filmmakers lent their vision to individual topics. Each episode is very different, and about 15 minutes in length. The filmmakers include Eric Ayotte, Patricia Dolton, Hannah DeGarmo, Paul-Hudson Erwin, Peggy Lynn, Josiah Macica, Clara Riedlinger, Kevin Rogan.
