Presentation: AMC Historical Film Fest- 1940’s Recreation in Maine

On Tuesday June 5, AMC Librarian and Archivist Becky Fullerton headlines an historical film fest of epic, Maine proportions featuring footage from AMC’s collections! Travel back to the 1940s for a trip into Piscataquis County for hiking and camping in the Katahdin Region with able AMC leader Ron Gower. See the trails, streams, and peaks in dazzling Kodachrome color while observing Mainers in their natural habitat. Becky will narrate the action and speak about the club as it was just after World War II. The footage to be shown was transferred to digital media from its original 16mm reels at Maine’s own Northeast Historic Film in Bucksport. On Tuesday June 5th, join Becky at the Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant Street, Brunswick, 04011. Bring a potluck item to share and your own dinnerware (plate, utensils etc.) if possible. Drinks will be available. For more information, please download a flyer (140 KB PDF) or email Meetings and Education Chair John Mullens. All events are free and open to the public.
