Event Description

Did you miss seeing our Shorts Showcase I in November at the Community Stories Festival at the AFI Silver?  You have another opportunity since we will be showing the films again in Takoma Park.  These short documentaries are about people, places, and happenings in from our local community.  They include films both by professional filmmakers and by first-time filmmakers in Docs In Progress' adult education video production workshops.  Come meet the filmmakers and some of the folks featured in the films.

ABOUT DOCS IN PROGRESS

Docs In Progress is all about building community through documentary film, but we are proud to be based in the vibrant, diverse, and historic communities of Silver Spring, Montgomery County, and the broader Washington DC Metropolitan Area.  When we teach documentary production to adults and youth in the area, we have them focus on stories drawn from our local community.  What you will see tonight are the results of those efforts.  While many of tonight's films are the first films ever made by the filmmakers, we couldn't be prouder of their work.  We hope you will enjoy! 

Tickets are FREE thanks to the support of the City of Takoma Park, the Maryland State Arts Council, the Maryland Film Office, the Maryland Humanities Council, the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County, the Takoma Foundation, and people like you.
