Pablo Larraín / Argentina, Chile, France, Spain / 107 min / 2016 / Spanish with English subtitles
It’s 1948 and the Cold War has reached Chile. In congress, Senator Pablo Neruda accuses the government of betraying the Communist Party and is swiftly impeached by President Gonzalez Videla. Police Prefect Oscar Peluchonneau is assigned to arrest the poet. Neruda tries to flee the country with his wife, Delia del Carril, but they are forced into hiding. Neruda, however, sees this struggle with his nemesis Peluchonneau as an opportunity to reinvent himself. He plays with the inspector, leaving clues designed to make their game of cat-and-mouse more dangerous, more intimate. In this story of a persecuted poet and his implacable adversary, Neruda recognizes his own heroic possibilities: a chance to become both a symbol for liberty and a literary legend.
Free.

|
| Family farms once dominated the land that would eventually become the industrial city of Holyoke. In the Homestead Avenue/Westfield Road area, family farms were thriving into the second half of the twentieth century. Local historian James M. Sheehan, who as a child helped deliver milk from his own family's farm to the apartment-dwellers in the city, is back for a second lecture on 'Holyoke's Forgotten Family Farms.' Drawing on first-person interviews, photographs, maps, deeds, and his own memories, Jim will provide a close-up view of the culture and history of Holyoke's twentieth-century farming community.
Free and open to the public.

| What went wrong in the planned industrial city? with Professor Robert Forrant |

Eileen Crosby (413) 420-8107
historyroom@holyokelibrary.org |
|
For over 150 years in a prosperous 200-mile industrial corridor along the Connecticut River between Bridgeport, Connecticut and Windsor, Vermont, hundreds of firms built the world’s metalworking, textile, and paper-making machinery; cutting tools; and measuring and inspection devices. Other companies in the region purchased these machines and produced finished goods, including rifles, carriages, rail cars, blank books, paper products, ice skates, bicycles, motorcycles, fine writing paper, and automobiles. In his talk, Professor Robert Forrant of UMass Lowell describes how the vibrant economy of Holyoke and the larger valley supported thousands of workers and their families. His talk explores how and why things took a turn for the worse in the 1960s and 1970s, as numerous locally owned firms were purchased by outside investors and the industry was challenged by global competitors.
Robert Forrant is the author of several books and numerous articles on industrial history and deindustrialization. He was named UMass Lowell Distinguished University Professor in 2016. Forrant, a former Holyoke resident, worked for many years as a machinist at the American Bosch plant in Springfield before its 1986 closure.
Free and open to the public.

Jayro Bustamante / France, Guatemala / 93 min / 2015 / In Maya and Spanish with English subtitles
Maria, a 17-year-old Mayan girl, lives and works with her parents on a coffee plantation in the foothills of an active volcano in Guatemala. An arranged marriage awaits her: her parents have promised her to Ignacio, the plantation overseer. But Maria doesn’t sit back and accept her destiny. Pepe, a young coffee cutter who plans to migrate to the USA becomes her possible way out. Maria seduces Pepe in order to run away with him, but after promises and clandestine meetings, Pepe takes off, leaving her pregnant, alone and in disgrace. There’s no time to lose for Maria’s mother, who thinks abortion is the only solution.

COME PLAY!
LEARN IN MOTION is a preschool age sports group that nurtures, challenges, and engages your child in a fun and secure environment. We believe physical activity plays the most important role in your child's academic success.
Our classroom is the field.
