The Eleventh Year

This dynamic film is considered a masterpiece of Ukrainian cinema which has renewed relevance today as the country fights valiantly to preserve its land and freedom against the aggression of Putin’s Russia. Dziga Vertov (best known as director of Man with a Movie Camera 1929) was born and raised in Ukraine. He retained an allegiance to this Soviet republic throughout his life and did extensive filming there – releasing several films on the subject.

The Eleventh Year was released in 1927 and was his last film before Man with a Movie Camera. The film traces Ukraine’s progress 10 years after the Russian Revolution. It celebrates the working people of Ukraine, their labor, new technology, the exploitation of natural resources, their strong military and the people’s enduring relationship with the land.

Psychedelic Cinema Orchestra

The Psychedelic Cinema Orchestra is a four-man ensemble which composes contemporary scores for silent films. The PCO began in 2013 with a score for Ken Brown’s 1969 film Psychedelic Cinema (hence the orchestra’s name) and has since scored and performed with movies such as South – Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance Expedition, Hitchcock’s The Lodger, and several short films. The group has toured extensively in the United States. The members of the Psychedelic Cinema Orchestra are:

Ken Winokur – PCO director, percussion, clarinet
Jonathan LaMaster – violin, guitar, bass, electronics
Russ Gershon – keyboard
P. Andrew Willis – guitar viol, electronics

The GMF Annual Fund is dedicated to raising the resources that are necessary to run the organization.  In 2026 the Meetinghouse will reach 220 years in service to Cape Ann, a miraculous survivor and centerpiece of the Historic District.  Our successful and ongoing mission is to preserve it as a cultural venue, civic hub and community gathering center. 

We are mostly volunteers but our paid executive assistant, Ashley Shedd, provides invaluable and efficient office support.  We also incur significant costs for building use, graphics, web hosting, marketing, advertising and other essential services.  This year we will be hiring additional professional staff for enhanced program growth, grant-writing, development, and planning for the upcoming Capital Campaign. 

Your generous contributions to the Annual Fund are central to facilitating our vision for a completely renovated and updated Meetinghouse, complementary to the new Sawyer Free Library and expanded Cape Ann Museum – an incomparable resource capable of hosting as many as 500 participants for community-focused forums, events and performances. 

Delivering on our great aspirations depends upon you.
