Holyoke: Points of View: featuring: Holyoke Stars of the Silent Screen

Date: April 19, 2013

Time: 5-7pm


Venue: Wauregan Gallery at 386 Dwight Street, Holyoke, MA


Tickets: Free and Open to the Public


MIFA brought the idea for Holyoke Stars to PorterHouse Media as part of MIFA’s ongoing research into Holyoke artists and celebrities. PorterHouse Media: www.porterhousemedia.com and Zach MacDonald of Milltown Productions: milltownproductions.com, have collaborated to create an audio/visual composition highlighting three famous stage and silent film actresses: Eva Tanguay, Ormi Hawley, and Pauline Curley. The video is a mix of original sounds and images from rare footage and recordings blended artistically with a modern approach. The video short will be followed by either the full-length silent film Where The North Holds Sway (1927), staring Pauline Curley or Where the North Begins (1923), staring Rin Tin Tin.


Holyoke Then and Now, a photography exhibit, accompanies the viewing.

www.holyokepov.org, is a series of art and cultural events which will take place during April 2013 in venues throughout Holyoke’s Arts & Innovation District. All programs are free and open to the public.
