Berkshire Made Film Series is an eleven-week series of free films. The series is devoted to movies with strong Berkshire County connections. This includes films that were shot on location in the Berkshires, films with visual effects produced in the Berkshires, or with Berkshire residents as cast members.
The films will be shown on the Topia Arts Center new 32-foot screen, with a high-definition projector and sound system. Many of the films will be preceded by a lecture or talk by BFMAC members who worked on the film.
July 12, Douglas Trumbull, Academy Award winning visual effects pioneer will present 2001: A Space Odyssey, as he did for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences last year. Other speakers will include visual effects producer Diane Pearlman on August 2, Bob O’Haver who worked on visual effects for Stargate on August 16, and Jeff Kleiser from Synthespian Studios in North Adams, whose film credits include Stargate, X-Men and Fantastic Four who will speak on July 26.
All films will be free to the public. Seating is limited. For a complete listing of films and speakers please call Topia Arts Center at (413) 743-9605 or visit their website at www.topiaarts.org.
