ACHF Arts Access
As a result of this program, our community will be brought together to remember and analyze a piece of largely-forgotten art, giving audience members a chance to connect (or re-connect) to the piece through conversations with its creators. Evaluation will occur through an audience questionnaire that asks about the quality of the film and their analysis and connection with its creators, notes related to personal observation, and counting audience, artist and youth numbers.
An audience of former Arctic Cat employees and vintage snowmobile enthusiasts gathered at the 125th anniversary of Thief River Falls to view and comment on the lost film, "It Ain't Easy." The movie, which was made and premiered in Thief River Falls in 1972, was restored and digitized in high-definition by Pixel Farm in St. Paul. After the screening, audience members discussed their memories of the film being made and pointed out area locations and local residents in the movie.
