All of these wonderful short docs were made by Massachusetts-based filmmakers, and they vary in tone from whimsical to breathtaking to inspiring to profound. If you’re interested in local film, you will not want to miss this event and the filmmaker talkback afterwards; plan to stay a little longer for that and enjoy some light refreshments between this screening and the 7pm show. This lineup includes (not necessarily in this order):

Closing the Gap, directed by Maura Smith & Kate Smith *
Find the Veteran - The Green River Festival 2023, directed by Dave Sondrini *
Finding the Words, directed by Alexandra Wagman *
The North Cascades: An Elevated Journey, directed by Ben Avishai *
Small Lives, directed by Colin Hodgson *

*All of the filmmakers plan to attend the talkback and represent their films
