    Belmont World Film Presents the East Coast Premiere of "The Finishers"

    Posted Wednesday April 15 2015 at 10:03 pm

    The story of Boston Marathon participants Dick Hoyt and his cerebral palsy-stricken son, Rick, were the models for this moving film set in picturesque southern France.  A determined teenage boy confined to a wheelchair pesters his unemployed father to enter an Ironman contest.  After multiple attempts to reach his non-communicative father, the son finally convinces him to start training, and the two begin a grueling program that reaps unexpected rewards.

    Posted Friday March 27 2015 at 10:44 pm

    Multi-colored Globe

    In the global society in which we live, the arts open pathways to understanding and communication between peoples.  In addition, the arts are channels for creativity and celebration, mitigate the effects of stress and trauma, and are known to facilitate innovative spaces for emotional release.  The arts can provide people a tangible result for their efforts in a relative short time, actions that can take place through individual or collective effort.  The conference will feature arts based approaches initiated by Lesley University faculty and other international experts.  Circumnavigate the globe using the arts as our compass for exploration.
