LISBON — Lisbon Adult and Community Education, 19 Gartley St., is hosting a film screening of “In the Blood” with Sumner McKane on Wednesday, June 12, from 7 to 9 p.m.
The multi-media presentation on Maine’s legendary lumbermen and river drivers combines film, photography, oral histories and a live musical soundtrack performed by Sumner McKane and Joshua Robbins,
“In the Blood” creates a virtual journey into the 19th Century Maine woods and brings the audience into a turn-of-the-century lumber camp, onto a river tangled with logs, and onto a haul road sitting behind a team of horses. By employing various mediums to deliver historical documentary materials, the story of some of Maine’s most notable historical characters is vividly brought to life.
Sumner McKane is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and filmmaker based in Mid-coast Maine. He combines film, oral histories and live music to create live “documentary exhibits.” He also tours with the Don Campbell Band and teaches at the Midcoast Guitar School and the Buckdancers Choice Music School.
