fall Film Series
Celebrate Halloween at The Museum at Bethel Woods with horror films of the 1960s during the Fall Film Series. The series runs Friday nights from Oct. 15 - Nov. 5, with screenings beginning at 7pm. Each screening will include an introduction that situates the film within their historical context. Learn how the socio-political events of the decade, from the women's movement to Vietnam and more, translated into silver screen thrillers.
The museum film series expands the museum's interpretation of the 1960s by providing films from the era or films that comment on or shed insight into the decade. Films range from independent films to feature films to documentaries, foreign films and more.
The museum launched its film programming in Fall 2009 with films connected to the special exhibit Robert Altman's Sixties: Portrait of a Generation. The films included Blow-Up, Almost Famous, and I'm Not There. The films were introduced by museum staff to provide content about the films in understanding the era of the 1960s.
Museum speaker series
The Museum at Bethel Woods will host three speaker events that will connect with the Vietnam exhibits in order to provide greater insight and new perspectives on Vietnam and its role in American and global public memory. The series will focus on presenting different points of view and demonstrating the lasting importance of understanding this important, if diverse, period in our country's history.
July 11 - Capturing Vietnam: A Panel of Photojournalists Who Covered Vietnam
July 25 - Commemorating Operation Babylift
August 8 - Answering the Call: Women in the Military during Vietnam
The Speaker Series at The Museum at Bethel Woods is designed to complement and extend the scholarship in the museum galleries by presenting leading authorities in fields related to the museum's permanent and special exhibits.
