DESCRIPTION:
Hot Afternoons Have Been in Montana, by Ken Kimmelman, is based on the "Nation" magazine prize poem of 1925 and read by its author. The film is a dramatic and colorful montage combining photographs, live-action and special effects, that takes us on a wonderful odyssey showing how a hot afternoon in Montana is related to the whole world. It so deeply honors the earth--its land, its history, its people, and makes the past--the feelings of people alive! Eli Siegel said that "Hot Afternoons" is essentially the making history poetic."
