GREENFIELD — As part of The LAVA Center’s monthly “Theater of Ideas” program, the 324 Main St. venue will host screenings of “Greenfield’s Winter Carnival, 1923” and “Love’s Young Dream,” with a talkback session to follow with the Historical Society of Greenfield’s Chris Clawson and Carol Aleman, on Friday, Feb. 20, at 6 p.m.
“Greenfield’s Winter Carnival, 1923” is a 9-minute film documenting the first Winter Carnival. “Love’s Young Dream” is a one-act comedy-drama that was produced at the old Victoria (later Showplace) Theater on Chapman Street in June 1924, and features local Greenfield actors.
Bridging the two films is a short documentary detailing the Historical Society’s discovery, what Clawson and Aleman learned about the films’ creation, and how they produced a modern presentation that was first shown at the Garden Cinemas in 2024. Each film has a virtual orchestra accompaniment of silent screen music produced for Vintage Days.
