Hidden in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Black Mountain College (1933–1957) was an influential experiment in education that inspired and shaped several 20th century American artists. Through interviews with former students, teachers and historians, and archival photography, Fully Awake explores this vibrant community, focusing on the college’s unique educational style and the long reaching influence of its radical pedagogy. Bring a blanket or chair to watch the film under the stars.
