First Annual FilmTopia

10:17AM / Tuesday, May 05, 2009

ADAMS, Mass. - Topia Arts Center, 27 Park Street (Route 8) has scheduled the first annual Film Topia, a free film series to premiere this June 21st on Topia's brand new Hi Def (Definition) movie projector and 24 ft. screen. The projection system was made possible by the generosity of the South Adams Savings Bank.

The first film to be shown at Topia this summer will be determined by Topia's "Pick The Flick" contest to be held in Adams. The contest will give Adams residents the opportunity to tell Topia what film they'd like to see first and why. The 'winning' movie will be the first to launch the ongoing summer series.

Look for ballot boxes in Adams’ stores and banks next week for your chance to "Pick The Flick". You can also vote online by going to www.topiaarts.org.

The FilmTopia summer series will kick off with "Berkshire Made Movies", a collection of films made in the Berkshires or by Berkshire residents, and will be highlighted by discussions with select local filmmakers. Legendary effects guru Doug Trumbull is slated to present 2001 Space Odyssey to the Berkshires as he did for the Academy in Hollywood last year. Jeff Kleiser from Synthespians in North Adams will be on hand to discuss his company's cutting edge work on X-Men, among many other projects. Other Berkshire Made films on the schedule include, The Matrix, The Blade Runner, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, a double feature of the Karen Allen films Raiders of the Lost Arc and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls. For a complete list of films check the schedule on www.topiaarts.org.

This year's FilmTopia offers audiences the unique movie-going experience of a cutting edge Hi Def projection system and newly installed seats juxtaposed with the completely raw state of the theatre space. As an emerging green Creative Arts Center, Topia is currently in process of sustainable renovations.

For more information please log on to www.topiaarts.org or call 413-743-9605.
