The Concord Film Project
The Umbrella Community Arts Center is excited to host The Concord Film Project. Following a successful pilot program of short films in January, which drew an audience from Concord and surrounding towns, The Concord Film Project will present a series of feature length films. The series will kick off on Tuesday, April 22 at 8:00 PM with In a World, directed by and starring Lake Bell. The second film will be shown on Tuesday, May 20 at 8:00 PM with the Straight story, directed by David Lynch, and the Project will conclude this season with The Fall, directed by Tarsem Singh, on Tuesday, June 17.
Organizers Dinah Buechner-Vischer, Kim Burns, and Kristin Canty are thrilled to see the project, which grew from conversations with film lovers who wanted a place to watch films in Concord, take off. "We are excited to bring to Concord access to independent, fascinating films not shown in other area theaters. And the opportunity to socialize, have a glass of wine, talk about the film," says Burns. "We want to provide friends and neighbors of our community with an ongoing opportunity to gather together to view masterful films,” says Buechner-Vischer. “It’s a fun, thought-provoking way to spend time and have lively conversation, along with casual socializing and delicious food."
