VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Barnes County Historical Society Lecture Series Season 24 Presents:  Wes Anderson’s “A 16-Millimeter Film Fest” at 7PM Thursday, January 16, at the Barnes County Museum.

For lack of a different presenter for the January segment of Season 24, Barnes County Museum Curator, Wes Anderson, has once again drawn the short straw to present another evening of 16mm movies.  The events were so popular last year that we’ll do it again with more of the museum’s amassed small collection of mid to late-20th-century 16-millimeter educational movies covering a varying range of topics from National and International Politics to Science, Cold War, Vietnam, environmental issues, social issues, and health.  Wes will be firing up (hopefully no fires…this time) the old 16mm projector and, for those who remember Mr. Weiss’ class at the Valley City High School, reliving the days of about 50 years ago (give or take) when the world was a different place seen flickering on the screen at the front of the classroom.  This presentation is brought to you by Fidelity Savings and Loan of Valley City!

Wes Anderson has been the curator for the Barnes County Museum since 1997 and this is his 13th or 14th presentation for the series…. he’s lost count…It might be 16th!  A graduate of Valley City State University, he is also the director of the Valley City State University Planetarium.

All Lectures are at the Barnes County Historical Society Museum and held in conjunction with Valley City State University.  They are free and open to the public. For more information contact Wes Anderson at 701-845-0966.
