For Meredith Holch in MemoriamFor Meredith Holch in Memoriam
Description provided by Jerome Lipani:
On the day I finished this film, July 6, 2025, Bread and Puppet folks, admirers of Meredith, and the huge and wonderful B&P Band proceeded exuberantly and poignantly to the Pine Forest (on the Bread and Puppet Theater farm in Glover), where an area had been set up to honor Meredith’s legacy. A number of colleagues and friends spoke eloquently. Deep appreciation for Meredith’s life, brilliant cinematography and innovative animations was evidenced later in a film program given by Emily Anderson. “For Meredith in Memoriam” is a prelude to the July 6 memorial celebration. Two minutes and 48 seconds long, it is composed of photos and video footage recorded at Meredith’s house in East Hardwick in the days leading up to the celebration. Shots include her flower garden in bloom, her deck, her river and her view across it. The film is scored by my piano raga.
In loving memory,
Jerome
