On Sunday, November 1, at 5 pm, CMCA presents Double Tide (2009) by Sharon Lockhart, whose work is also featured in Because the Sky is Blue. Double Tide documents the work of a female clam digger in the mudflats of midcoast Maine. Expanding the focus of Lockhart’s films Lunch Break (2008) and Exit (2008) (produced at the Bath Iron Works), Double Tide creates a portrait of a relatively unseen and singular form of labor.
Filmed on the rare occasion in which low tide occurs twice within daylight hours—once at dawn and once at dusk—Double Tide takes as its subject a worker whose job is defined by the most elemental and unchangeable forces of nature.
The screening will include an introduction by CMCA Curator and Interim Director Grant Wahlquist.
Admission: $12 adults | $9 seniors (65+) and students
