- Set on the storied streets of South Boston, The Greening of Southie is a feature documentary about Boston's first residential green building, and the skeptical workers who are asked to build it. From wheatboard cabinetry to recycled steel, bamboo flooring to dual-flush toilets, The Macallen Building is something different--a leader in the emerging field of environmentally friendly design. But Boston's steel-toed union workers aren't sure they like it. And when things on the building start to go wrong, the young developer has to keep the project from unraveling.
- In a series of lyrical portraits, THE LONG COAST illuminates the stories of Maine's seafolk, those whose lives and livelihoods are inextricably connected to the ocean. This atmospheric film shows the beauty, intimacy, and uncertainty that coastal dwellers face in rooting their lives in the ocean, particularly as human actions - from overfishing, to aquaculture, to warming seas - confront Maine and its people with profound change.
- WORLD FAIR is a short documentary that explores personal memory and amateur cinematography through a singular, spectacular event: the 1939 New York World's Fair. On the heels of the Great Depression and with war mounting overseas, millions of people traveled to a former ash dump in Queens, New York, to catch a fleeting glimpse of a better future. WORLD FAIR weaves together the memories of former fairgoers - now in their eighties and nineties - with vibrant archival footage, transporting viewers to the futuristic and hopeful realm of the 1939 New York World's Fair. As a meditation on the ways we remember and preserve the past, WORLD FAIR celebrates the stories contained in photographs and home movies, in illustrations, and in the objects we collect and save.
