Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — This Fall, on three consecutive Tuesdays, the German Austrian Film Festival (GAFF) is looking at very recent movies from Germany and Austria, depicting characters in a state of crisis, trapped in situations that force them to break with societal norms and ultimately become outsiders. 
 
All screenings will be at 7:30 PM at Images Cinema.
 
"With Sonne" (2022) on Sept. 26, a fiction feature debut by Kurwin Ayub (in the presence of the director), "Sorry Comrade" (2022) on Oct. 3, a documentary comedy by Vera Brückner, and "The Ordinaries" (2022) on Oct. 10, a Sci-Fi debut film by Sophie Linnenbaum, the series explores the theme of identity crisis through the lens of friendship, romance, and ambition.
 
By presenting three different films by three young woman filmmakers from Germany and Austria, the GAFF is introducing the newcomers of contemporary German-speaking cinema.
 
Sponsored by the German Russian Department, the Center for Global Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, and the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York.

2025 Year in Sports: Mount Greylock Girls Track Was County's Top Story

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
Mount Greylock Regional School did not need an on-campus track to be a powerhouse.
 
But it did not hurt.
 
In the same spring that it held its first meets on its new eight-lane track, Mount Greylock won its second straight Division 6 State Championship to become the story of the year in high school athletics in Berkshire County.
 
"It meant so much this year to be able to come and compete on our own track and have people come here – especially having Western Mass here, it's such a big meet,"Mounties standout Katherine Goss said at the regional meet in late May. "It's nice to win on our own track.”
 
A week later at the other end of the commonwealth, Goss placed second in the triple jump and 100-meter hurdles and third in the 400 hurdles to help the Mounties finish nearly five points ahead of the field.
 
Her teammates Josephine Bay, Cornelia Swabey, Brenna Lopez and Vera de Jong ran circles around the competition with a nine-second win in the 4-by-800 relay. And the Mounties placed second in the 4-by-400 relay while picking up a third-place showing from Nora Lopez in the javelin.
 
Mount Greylock's girls won a third straight Western Mass Championship on the day the school's boys team claimed a fourth straight title. At states, the Mounties finished fifth in Division 6.
