VOB Film Festival Presents: To Kill A Mockingbird

The Village of Brewster Film Festival is partnering with Arts on the Lake to bring films of interest to our audiences. We start off with the classic To Kill A Mockingbird. Come join us as we view on a large screen this classic work in American Film history that stars Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch and Mary Badham as Scout.

To Kill a Mockingbird marked the film debuts of Robert Duvall, William Windom, and Alice Ghostley. The film received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and was a box-office success, earning more than six times its budget. The film won three Academy Awards, including Best Actor for Peck, and was nominated for eight, including Best Picture.

 
In 1995, the film was listed in the National Film Registry. In 2003, the American Film Institute named Atticus Finch the greatest movie hero of the 20th century. In 2007, the film ranked twenty-fifth on the AFI's 10th anniversary list of the greatest American movies of all time. In 2005, the British Film Institute included it in their list of the 50 films you should see by the age of 14.

Admission is on a pay-what-you-wish basis for this opening night of the new film series.
