See Martin Scorsese’s haunting Shutter Island outdoors on the grounds where it was filmed at Medfield State Hospital!We'll be screening the film in a pop-up drive-in style set up! Tickets are $65 per car (not per person), in order for us to cover set-up costs. These events are rain or shine.
Upon arrival, you will park in the field near the entrance of Medfield State Hospital where the screen will be set up and view the films from your vehicle.
We do encourage you to arrive early if you would like to walk the grounds of Medfield State Hospital before the film begins at sundown.
Prior to each screening, audiences will hear from John Thompson, Chairman of Medfield State Hospital Buildings and Grounds, who will discuss the historical context of the site and how it compares to the “Ashecliffe Hospital” it depicts in the film.
