Title: The Exiles, MFA Film Program

The MFA Film Program is proud to present a 6 show engagement of a restored 35 mm print of Kent MacKenzie's 1961 film. This is the first time that The Exiles has been widely available for theatrical engagements. The Exiles, was possibly inspired by Kent MacKenzie's friendship with Native American artist and dancer Tom Two Arrows, whom he met when they were both summer camp counselors in Maine during Kent's years at Dartmouth. Gritty, realistic and far ahead of its time (in a period when Hollywood films featured noble savages), the script for The Exiles was created exclusively from recorded interviews with the participants and with their ongoing input during the shooting of the film. Native American writers and activists have long considered the film as one of first works of art to portray modern life honestly and as an important forerunner for the cultural renaissance of American Indian fiction, poetry, filmmaking and theater starting in the 1970s.

Tickets: Members, seniors and students $8; general admission $10. Discount matinee prices (weekday until 5 pm; weekends until 12:30 pm) are $6, $7. To purchase please call the box office at 617-369-3306 or online at www.mfa.org/film.
