The Story of Perth — Part One

The Story of Perth is a three-hour, two part documentary film series on the history of Perth, Ontario, Canada from its beginning in 1816 until the fall of 2015. The film features numerous fascinating stories from throughout the town's 199 year history. The stories are supported by historic photos, on-screen interviews with many well know "Perthites" and lots of gorgeous high definition video of modern day Perth.

Framework: Words on the Land

A new kind of cultivation is happening in and around a field near Perth, ON – one that clearly puts the culture in agriculture as it were. In addition to its annual exhibitions of site-responsive art installations, Fieldwork is breaking new ground in 2015 with a project that plants writers in the rural landscape for a weekend of land-inspired writing, and which in turn invites you to come and hear their words. Get more info and tickets from the Fieldwork website.
