Excellent VT Made Movie Showing

Past event
Jan 30, 2025, 6:30 PM

Dear friends, neighbors, and colleagues,

Please join me on Thursday January 30th at 6:30 PM. The South Burlington Library will be showing a great Vermont-made movie in the Auditorium in City Hall. This is a FREE event!

The Quietest Year is filmmaker Karen Akins' darkly quirky personal quest to curb noise pollution in her quaint Vermont village, and it uncovers the dire consequences of lax noise control not only in her home state but throughout the U.S.

I am hoping that we will have a full auditorium and a lively discussion after the movie. This is both a very enjoyable movie and film that encourages conversation and a call to action.

A review:
The Quietest Year is above all a wake-up call, a human film attentive to the issues of its time. By focusing on a subject that tends to be minimized, the filmmaker manages to highlight a host of current societal issues among the most burning. Skillfully executed and documented, brilliantly edited, alarming but never moralizing, Karen Akins' film is a successful plea for the regulation of noise nuisances, the harmful effects of which are undeniable on health.
