We’re now into our last month at the 2020-21 Winter Farmers’ Market season. Come April 3rd, the BWFM will be moving outdoors to the field at the Woolery Mill to present the Woolery Farmers’ Market in its first full season! (You may remember it from last year as the BWFM in the Summer.) We’re looking forward to sharing the field with you in April!

The Winter Market has a diversity of vendors and products including fresh produce, local meat and poultry, dairy products, eggs, maple syrup, honey products, breads, baked goods, jams and sauces, prepared foods, locally roasted coffee, cut flowers, seeds and plants and many other items. You can find everything you need for nourishing winter meals along with local crafts.

You’ll find free parking, a spacious venue, and 30 incredible vendors. Monroe County Health Department regulations regarding COVID 19 will be followed.

Nationtime virtual screening – IU Cinema, Bloomington, IN

Best known for his avant-garde meta-documentary Symbiopsychotaxiplasm, William Greaves directed more than 100 documentary films, the majority focused on African American history, politics, and culture.  Nationtime is the long-lost film Greaves made about the National Black Political Convention of 1972—when 10,000 Black politicians, activists, and artists went to Gary, Ind., to forge a national unity platform in advance of the Republican and democratic presidential conventions. The delegates included a wide array of political thinkers: Black Panthers co-founder Bobby Seale, Pan-Africanist Amiri Baraka, PUSH founder Jesse Jackson, elected officials Ron Dellums, Charles Diggs, Walter Fauntroy, Richard Hatcher, Carl McCall, plus key women in the fight for racial equality—Coretta Scott King, Betty Shabazz, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Queen Mother Moore (who was arguing for reparations). Entertainers Harry Belafonte, Dick Gregory, Isaac Hayes, and Richard Roundtree lent their star quality and entertained the crowds. Narrated by Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte, Nationtime was considered too militant for television broadcast at the time and has since circulated only in an edited 60-minute version. This new 4K restoration from IndieCollect, with funding from Jane Fonda and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, returns the film to its original 79-minute length and visual quality.

$10 Virtual Ticket. New 4K Restoration. A percentage of the proceeds from this streaming engagement will directly support IU Cinema.

You will be able to stream the film to the device of your choosing via a link which will be provided after purchasing your virtual ticket. Tickets are $10 and are good for a 48-hour rental from the date of purchase. Revenue will be shared 50/50 between IU Cinema and Kino Lorber.
