Movie Month: Mt. Philo Commune & Peace Train to Beijing

Vermont International Film Festival in collaboration with the Vermont Archive Movie Project (VAMP) presents two films restored by VAMP:

MOUNT PHILO COMMUNE by Robert Machover and Michael Singer. 23 minutes. 1973

A documentary film portrait of the Mt. Philo, Vermont commune. Followed by Q&A with Bridget Meyer and other commune members.

PEACE TRAIN TO BEIJING by Robin Lloyd. 30 minutes. 1995

The WILPF (Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom) journey through Asia on their way to the Beijing conference. A fun and fascinating women’s “road trip” through towns and villages as they learn to live with each other on the train for several weeks. For many this was a feminist awakening and certainly the trip of a lifetime. Followed by Q&A with Robin Lloyd.
