MANCHESTER, VT>> Green Mountain Academy is excited to present the documentary film screening of Ada: My Mother the Architect. The screening will take place at the Manchester Community Library on Thursday, August 20^th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Ada Karmi Melamede is one of the most accomplished architects in the world, but very little is known about her outside of her home country of Israel. The movie is a deeply moving portrait of an extraordinary woman directed by her daughter, filmmaker and former architect. It profiles a woman and artist deeply tested by the realities of career and motherhood, and a unique mother-daughter bond. Despite personal sacrifices, Ada’s work gave physical form to some of Israel’s highest democratic ideals, most notably in the Supreme Court Building in Jerusalem, the Open University, Ben Gurion Airport, and numerous civic institutions around the country. A talk back with producer/director Yael Melamede will follow the screening. Tickets are $20 per person.
