Calendar of Events

Brattleboro Museum & Art Center presents:

Independent Lens Film Screening: “The Eyes of Me”
Date: Feb 18, 2010
Time: 7:30 pm
How do you see yourself, when you can’t see at all? At the Texas School for the Blind, students juggle all the usual pressures of high school along with the added struggles of growing up blind. Spend a dynamic year with four blind teens learning how to fit in and live independently. Forced to confront the world without sight, they share their inner visions of the outer world. Ultimately, you cannot understand their perceptions without challenging your own.

Admission: free; film screening at 7:30 p.m. followed by panel discussion

The Eyes of Me is being shown at BMAC through Community Cinema, a collaboration with Vermont Public Television and Brattleboro Community Television, whereby BMAC presents free monthly screenings of films from the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Independent Lens. Screening are followed by lively discussions and other events that bring together citizens, organizations, and public television stations to encourage dialogue and action around important social issues.
