SUMMARY:Vermont Movies? Why? And How? - with Jay Craven
DESCRIPTION:For five decades Jay Craven has written\, produced\, and directed character-driven films deeply rooted in Vermont and New England\, including five films based on the works of Howard Frank Mosher. His latest film\, Lost Nation\, digs into the parallel stories of Ethan Allen and the pioneering Black Guilford poet Lucy Terry Prince. \nIn this Vermont Humanities Speakers Bureau talk\, Craven will describe working with actors such as Rip Torn\, Tantoo Cardinal\, Kris Kristofferson and Michael J. Fox\, and share the satisfactions and challenges that come from a deep immersion into place-based narrative.\n….. \nAbout the presenter: Kingdom County Productions co-founder\, Jay Craven\, is an award-winning director\, writer\, and producer\, whose narrative films include High Water  (1989); Where the Rivers Flow North (1993); A Stranger in the Kingdom (1997); In Jest (1999); The Year that Trembled (2003); Disappearances (2006); Northern Borders (2012); Wetware (2018); and Blood Brothers (2021)\, and Martin Eden (2023). \nCraven also directed\, produced\, and co-wrote the 2005 Emmy Award-winning public television comedy series\, Windy Acres\, along with four episodes of the Queen City Radio Hour—a comedy and music variety show performed before a live audience and broadcast over Vermont Public Radio.

SUMMARY:Vermont Women and The Civil War - with Howard Coffin
DESCRIPTION:“Vermont women enlisted for the duration.” So said a Vermont historian assessing the war years 1861-1865. Vermont’s remarkable Civil War battlefield record is well documented\, but little is known of how Vermont women sustained the home front. Historian Howard Coffin explains\, with nearly 35\,000 of the state’s able-bodied men at war\, how women took on farming\, worked in factories\, served as nurses in the state’s military hospitals\, and more. And at least one Vermont woman appears to have secretly enlisted and fought in a Vermont regiment! Drawing from letters and diaries\, Coffin tells their story in their own words\, describing life during the Civil War in the Green Mountain State. This is a Vermont Humanities event hosted by Brooks Memorial Library. \n… \nA seventh-generation Vermonter\, Howard Coffin is the author of four books on the Civil War: Something Abides: Discovering the Civil War in Today’s Vermont; Full Duty: Vermonters in the Civil War; Nine Months to Gettysburg; and The Battered Stars\, as well as Guns Over the Champlain Valley\, a book on military sites along the Champlain Corridor.
