Points North Forum at the Camden International Film Festival

It’s already time to start thinking about the fall film festivals and your hit list of “must attends,” ESPECIALLY for New England filmmakers, should include the Camden International Film Festival (CIFF) taking place Sept. 30th through Oct. 3rd! 

With Subtitles

We had a good turnout for last night’s screening of Speaking in Tongues at the DocYard; I cried (little kids can get to you), and the film made a strong case for bilingual education.

Funder Spotlight: CINEREACH!

Among the many satisfying elements of working in the world of documentary funding is seeing a project that your foundation supports gain further recognition, grant support, and accolades from the industry broadly. At LEF, one name that we frequently see stand out in the crowd of funders is CINEREACH.

Hospitals on TV

Watching Fred Wiseman’s Hospital (1970) at the last Docyard screening, as patients at New York’s Metropolitan Hospital bled and vomited their way into our hearts, I kept wondering “How is he filming this?”

The Union Docs Collaborative

Every time I get an email from Union Docs about what their programming is for the coming week, I want to jump in my car and drive immediately to Brooklyn to make sure I’m first in line.
