Documentaries and New Americans


Hi Everyone,
First of all, I need to give (another) big thank you to my distribution and events managers/parents. Through their combined efforts, over one hundred copies of the film have gone out around the state, and a number of screenings have been set up for the winter. It is because of them that this film is going anywhere at all. So a big thank you to them.
On that note, if anyone still wants to request a copy of the DVD (or still hasn't recevied one) please send me your name and a mailing address. Also, if anyone would like to host a screening with me, I will be in town between Dec. 18th and January 17th. Just send me your contact information and proposed dates. I know a number of people have already shown the film, and it's exciting to hear that this is happening.
As we move into the winter, a number of exciting things are happening in the world of New Americans and documentaries in Manchester. Here are a few of the highlights for the next few months.
"Our Community" at SNOB
"Our Community" has officially been selected for the Somewhat North of Boston Film Festival, which will be held Nov. 19th-21st at Red River Theatres in Concord. "Our Community" will be screened on the Sunday along with "Working Blind," followed by a panel discussion (although I am not entirely sure what the panel will entail, I'm sure it will be great.) Learn more about the festival here.
"Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in New Hampshire"
The UNH Center for the Humanities has just released "Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in New Hampshire," a documentary featuring personal stories of resettled refugees in New Hampshire. Learn more about upcoming screenings here.
Thanks,
Brendan J. Gillett
