Making It Here: Images Cinema
Since its opening in 1916 as the Walden Cinema—when silent films graced its screen—Images Theater in Williamstown has been the place to go to in the Northern Berkshires to catch a flick for one hundred years. Featuring a wonderful mix of foreign, classic, and modern films, Images has thrived as an independent in a world of blockbusters and cinemaplexes. Producer Tony Dunne and Videographer Dave Fraser invite you to sit down with some popcorn and enjoy the story of Images Theater.

Ashes to Ashes
It’s been over a century since Slavery was abolished in the United States by President Abraham Lincoln near the end of his term of presidency. Although the horrific beatings and lynching that slaves faced was over, there were still lost family and loved ones that suffered and hadn’t been laid to rest. Ashes to Ashes is a homegoing celebration by Dr. Shirley Jackson Whitaker to acknowledge those who’ve been murdered by the Klan without being able to rest in peace. On April 30th, Whitaker plans to change that with a mass burial service for the 3,000 documented lynchings in America’s past.
