Vermont - November 2-4, 1927 to August 2-4, 2017. Ninety years and 13 weeks ago to the day, Vermont experienced the catastrophic Flood of 1927, a disaster that has become almost normal under similar conditions and with similar results, the most recent being Tropical Storm Irene. Then as now, engorged mountain streams shot out of the hills like firehoses, and the riv- ers rose, inexorably. Then, the Black River raged through Proctorsville, to a depth of six feet. Cavendish was awash; a 600-foot-wide gorge swallowed a stretch of Main Street plus seven houses and ten barns. Jay Craven’s “Where the Rivers Flow North,” which Craven is taking on tour through Vermont this summer, tells a tale of that moment, combining the 1927 flood and the construction of the Comerford Dam on the Connecti- cut River near Barnet, Vermont, into a perfect storm of events in the fictional Kingdom County. Craven drew much of his material from the works of Vermont author How- ard Frank Mosher, who died on January 29, 2017. He and Mosher shared what Craven calls “an historical and cultural imagination of Vermont” that finds expression in “Rivers,” “Disappearances” and “A Stranger in the King- dom.” Many strands of real life go into the making of a piece of “fiction.” The power of “Where the Rivers Flow North,” Craven’s first feature film, lies in its detailed identification with place, people and a threatened way of life - details that speak eloquently to long-time Vermonters.
