New Perspectives Film Series: Sneak Peek Documentary Trailer-Fest!

New Perspectives programmer and moderator Megan Smith-Harris has watched over 200 new documentaries in preparation for the Ridgefield Independent Film Festival. She has put together a curated selection of trailers for the best-of-the-best, soon-to-be released docs exclusively for Wilton Library. She’ll provide context and behind-the-scenes insights about each film. The audience will be canvassed about which titles they would like to see screened during the 2018/19 New Perspectives Series season, so in essence, everyone will become a film programmer for the evening.

She also will discuss the anatomy of a trailer–describing how a 90-minute film is cut to a 90-second teaser. Suggested donation:  $5. Refreshments will be served. The New Perspectives Documentary series is programmed and moderated by filmmaker Megan Smith-Harris. A Q&A will follow the film. Registration is highly recommended.
