“Vanish” will be screened Friday at the Paramount Theatre.
Friday, Nov. 3 at 7 p.m.—RUTLAND—“Vanish —Disappearing Icons of a Rural America” is a remarkable story of past and present. “Vanish” chronicles the “visual preservation” adventures of fine art photographer Jim Westphalen as he travels across the country seeking out and creating stunning imagery of America’s disappearing rural structures.
Equal parts art, history and seat-of-the-pants storm chasing, travel with Westphalen as he races against time and the unrelenting elements to capture the extraordinary beauty of aging barns, one-room schoolhouses, grain elevators, prairie churches and all the classic structures that our country’s rural heritage was built upon.
Though many of these evocative relics will eventually surrender to the elements, the film captures firsthand the passionate people who strive and struggle to save these gems, revealing stories of dreams, loss and hope.

The film will be screened at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Rutland Friday at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $15 + tax/fees. For more information and tickets visit: paramountvt.org/event/film-vanish.
