Jay Craven’s Martin Eden to Screen Aug 22-23 at Peacham Library

AUG 22 & 23 @ 7:00 PM

Jay Craven’s new independent narrative feature film, “Jack London’s Martin Eden,” will play two special screenings, 7pm, Sunday and Monday, August 22nd and 23rd at Peacham Library. The film received its world premiere at the Nantucket Film Festival in June and is slated for upcoming screenings at the Boston Film Festival and others.

“Jack London’s Martin Eden” is based on the celebrated writer’s autobiographical novel. Set in 1909, it tells the story of a poor and unschooled sailor who unexpectedly meets Ruth Morse, a magnetic young woman of means and education. Their unconventional attraction upends both lives and propels timely themes of impossible love, dogged individualism in pursuit of the American Dream, and the quest for a comfortable place in an inconstant world.
