"Far Out: Life On & After the Commune" 2 Minute Trailer The film traces fifty years in the lives of a group of New England writers, activists and artists. It conveys how the 1960s counterculture, embodied in two rural communes, transformed and continues to shape rural New England, the "Baby Boom" generation and American culture as a whole. The production seeks to answer what happens to youthful idealism, not just of this one era, but of any. In the summer of 1968, in the middle of a left wing faction fight, a group of radical journalists from Liberation News Service (LNS), left New York City for the country. They founded two communal farms in the backwoods of western Massachusetts and Vermont. They existed as communes for over thirty years before morphing into a community--both nearby and scattered throughout the world. After leaving the city, the group tried to keep the news service going, but with the hardships of adapting to rural life and after the press froze in the first winter, the group of mostly young city slickers became pioneers in the back-to-the-land and organic farming movement. With the help of their neighbors, they spent the first five years learning rudimentary agricultural skills as well as how to live and work with each other as a communal family. In 1973, when the local utility proposed a giant twin nuclear plant nearby, they became active opponents. In a dramatic act of civil disobedience, Sam Lovejoy, a commune member, toppled a 500 foot weather tower on the planned nuclear site. He turned himself in and after a trial, where he represented himself and drew national attention, was acquitted. Subsequently, the group became leaders in the burgeoning anti-nuclear movement–from the battles over the Seabrook nuclear plant in New Hampshire, to Diablo Canyon in California, Shoreham in New York and elsewhere around the country. In 1979, they teamed up with Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Graham Nash and other committed rock stars to produce five nights of sold out concerts at Madison Square Garden and a 250,000 person rally in New York City. Blending contemporary interviews and a remarkable trove of original archival footage, Far Out is lively, humorous, inspiring and irreverent. Our point of view is honest rather than nostalgic. The film is vital, telling the history but hewing to the universal themes of how we grapple--over a lifetime--with politics, relationships, morality, spirituality, civic engagement and finding our home. The movie takes advantage of an exceptional collection of archival material, much of which was produced by commune members themselves. Producers Charles Light and Daniel Keller were members of the community and filmed the nuclear battles as well as many hours of daily life. Far Out also uses material from other professional and amateur photographers and filmmakers. Books by commune members (among the many: Ray Mungo's, Famous Long Ago and Total Loss Farm, Steve Diamond's What the Trees Said and the group's Home Comfort), their Green Mountain Post magazine, and the poetry, visual art, plays and music that the farms produced adds detail.
