Working in Rural New England by Ken Burns • Hampshire College Student Film

Ken Burns’s first documentary, about the lives of rural Americans after the Revolutionary War — his student thesis at Hampshire College — ignited his interest in making films about history and helped launch his career. And it came about when the College created a production company for students to learn the craft by making films for local nonprofits and community organizations. One organization that called on Hampshire Films was Old Sturbridge Village, the living museum of rural New England in the early 1800s. And the rest is 40-plus years of the most watched documentaries about American history. “We got nonprofit companies to hire us at no wages to make documentaries at cost,” Burns recalled. “They got more or less semi-accomplished films they wouldn’t have been able to afford with commercial companies.” His thesis film, Working in Rural New England – called a Division III project at Hampshire because students complete three divisions as undergraduates – was made to educate visitors at Old Sturbridge Village. In 2018, Burns told Variety magazine that the museum approached Hampshire Films for a movie about people’s lives from 1790 through the 1830s — “basically right up to the point when New England started to get industrialized,” he said. The 27-minute film, completed in 1975 before Burns graduated, was also his first to be nominated for a national award: He was one of five students up for the American Society of Cinematographers award for best photographed college film of 1975.
