Commune Movies
Two documentary films about the Mt. Philo Inn Commune and Vermont communes were released in 2020
From 1970 until 1975 this group of activists were instrumental in forming People's Free Clinic, now the essential Community Health Center in Burlington, the Burlington Co-op, now the thriving City Market, and The Schoolhouse, an alternative school. In between they took in homeless kids and had a good time.
The Mt. Philo Commune, filmed by respected cinematographers Robert Machover & Michael Singer, was remastered and digitized by VAMP (Vermont Archive Movie Project) in 2019 and is presented by VTIFF (Vermont International Film Festival)
