Happy New Year from the Bellwether Film Series!

As we wrap up our fourth year of the series we wanted to look back at all the films that have been a part of Bellwether over the years, and share information about how you can find them for home viewing (or where to find them still screening in the case of some of the more recent films). Below is a list of all the films with links to help you find them.

We look forward to bringing you more excellent films in 2019. The Bellwether Spring Season kicks off with Robert Greene’s critically-acclaimed exploration into the ways history lives on in the present, BISBEE ’17, coming to Amherst Cinema on February 7th.

For more information on The Bellwether Series and Amherst Cinema: https://amherstcinema.org/series/bellwether

The Bellwether Film Series presents innovative films coming from new voices with fresh approaches to fiction, non-fiction and experimental cinema.

The series showcases striking and important new films and engages artists and filmgoers in discussion.

Bellwether is co-curated by George Myers, Amherst Cinema’s General Manager, Pioneer Valley-based filmmaker Luke Meyer, and Andrew Hart, Hampshire College.

All Bellwether films are free to Amherst Cinema Members!
