Roger Ebert proclaimed it one of the best films of the year.

On Sunday, February 5 across the street at The Annie at 1 Washington Street, Levy will conduct a "Documentary 101" workshop, an intensive, 6-hour instruction in all aspects of non-fiction filmmaking, including selecting a subject and storytelling style, basic interviewing technique and ways to get your finished film seen.

Travelling Light
Nicholas Wright’s new play is a funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood’s golden age. The story begins in a remote village in Eastern Europe, around 1900. The young Motl Mendl is entranced by the flickering silent images on his father’s cinematograph. Bankrolled by Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant, and inspired by Anna, the girl sent to help him make moving pictures of their village, he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling. Forty years on, Motl – now a famed American film director – looks back on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams.Cast members include Abigail McKern (“Rumpole of the Bailey” and “The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby” and Antony Sher (“Shakespeare in Love” “Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown.”)

The Shipwrecks of Stellwagen Bank
Maritime Gloucester
Gloucester
Join NOAA maritime archaeologists, Deborah Marx and Matthew Lawrence for a tour of the Stellwagen Bank National Maritime Sanctuary's historic shipwrecks. Deborah and Matthew will present the 45-minute Science Channel's Viewers Choice Award winning documentary, "The Wreck of the Steamship Portland." On Nov. 26, 1898, the Steamship Portland left India Wharf in Boston for Portland, Maine, on a regularly scheduled run. She never made it to port. After much speculation, in 2002 researchers conclusively solved the mystery surrounding the Portland's location. The movie will be followed by a presentation on Sanctuary maritime heritage projects and a tour of the Sanctuary's exhibit at Maritime Gloucester. In 2011, this event received a 2011 Trails & Sails "People's Choice Award" for being a top ten, fan favorite!

A Far Cry
Free and open to the public. Tickets are not required and there are no advanced reservations. Seating is general admission and on a first-come, first-served basis.Support for the residency and concert by A Far Cry has been received from the Summer Star Foundation for Nature, Art and Humanity. Support for Rockport Music Education and Outreach programs for 2011-12 has been received from the National Endowment for the Arts.From the artist's website:Founded in 2007 by 17 young musicians bent on making music according to their own rules, the groundbreaking, self-conducted string orchestra A Far Cry has enjoyed a heady ascent toward the highest ranks of today’s new generation of classical ensembles. Hailed by the Boston Globe as “thrilling,” “intrepid” and “brilliant,” A Far Cry explores the traditional boundaries of classical music, experimenting with the ways it is prepared, performed, and experienced.Recently appointed Chamber Orchestra in Residence at Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the ensemble has developed an innovative structure of rotating leadership, both on stage and behind the scenes, which empowers each musician and aims to distill a valuable diversity of opinion into one unified voice.Along with its busy touring schedule across the USA, A Far Cry maintains an educational partnership with the New England Conservatory and continues to foster ties to a growing community with a storefront rehearsal space and neighborhood concert series in Boston—infusing each venture with, in the Globe’s words, “high musical standards and unbridled idealism.”
