Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is showing a documentary in connection with its exhibit “Frederic Church: A Painter’s Pilgrimage.”
“Art House” tells of houses built by artists who lived in them. These include Church’s home Olana in Greenport, N.Y., as well as homes by George Nakashima, Henry Chapman Mercer, Wharton Esherick, Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, Henry Varnum Poor, Russel Wright, Raoul Hague, Paolo Soleri and Eliphante.
Don Freeman’s film will be shown Sunday, July 8, at 2 p.m. The screening opens a series of films made in the lands where Church traveled. Other films in the series – all preceded by tours of the exhibit – are:
“Theeb,” the 2014 story of a Bedouin boy during World War I, which was filmed in Jordan, will be shown July 28 and 29 at 2 p.m. It will be followed both days at 3:45 p.m. by “Wadjda,” a 2012 story about a Saudi girl who enters a Koran-reciting contest.
