Marblehead Festival of Arts Presents an Evening of Film

The Marblehead Festival of Arts always-anticipated Film Festival will be screened on Friday evening, July 1, from  9:00 to 10:30 pm. Sixteen short films, ranging in length from 1:37 minutes to 10 minutes, comprise this year’s offerings. The films will be shown at Crocker Park, 11 Front Street, with a rain location of the Gerry #5, 210 Beacon Street. 

Of the many films and videos submitted for this annual competition, these 16 entries were chosen from the Narrative, Documentary, Experimental/Performance and Animation categories. Chairman Mike Evers commented, “These works are intended to show the many ways that film and video can be used as an art form to inform and express. They are not commercial films of the sort that you can find in your standard multiplex.” 

Please note that, although some of these works can certainly be enjoyed by children, not all of the films will be understood by them. Parents should review the lineup and decide if these films are appropriate for their younger children.
