NEW BEDFORD — The New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park and the Working Waterfront Festival are pleased to announce a new film series beginning on Jan. 21.
Dock-U-Mentaries will screen films about the working waterfront on the third Friday of each month beginning at 7:00 PM in the theater of the Corson Maritime Learning Center, located at 33 William St. in downtown New Bedford. All programs are open to the public and presented free of charge.
Over the past seven years, the Working Waterfront Festival has amassed a sizeable collection of documentary films on many aspects of the working port including life at sea, fishing families, marine ecology, fisheries science, regulations, seafood cooking and more. "This series provides an exciting opportunity to showcase the best films we have come across over the years," says Festival Director Laura Orleans. Many programs will be followed by a discussion. Some will include a panel from the local fishing community. Others will present a question and answer session with the filmmaker or a narrated slide talk on a particular theme.
