HARDWICK – Jay Craven’s newest film, “Lost Nation,” will screen at 7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 16, at the Jeudevine Memorial Library. Craven will appear at the screening for post-film questions.
“Lost Nation” is a Revolutionary War-era action drama set in the early Republic of Vermont, stars Irish actor Kevin Ryan (“Copper,” Harry Wild”) as Vermont founding father and rebel schemer, Ethan Allen, who leads resistance to New Yorker land claims, launches an ill-fated attack on British forces in Montreal and leads invasions by his Green Mountain Boys into Yorker strongholds of Guilford and Brattleboro.
Lost Nation was shot at 52 Vermont and Massachusetts locations and includes 43 speaking characters, including Vermonters Ira Allen, Seth Warner, Gideon Brownson, Thomas Chittenden and founding fathers Alexander Hamilton, George Washington and Samuel Adams (played by his direct descendent, Samuel Adams).
This film screening event will be held in the Parker Ladd Community Room of the Jeudevine Memorial Library, located at 93 N. Main Street. This is not a library-sponsored event. For more information and tickets go to kcppresents.org.
