Important film last Saturday night at the Woods Hole Film Festival, Porcelain War, about two Ukrainian artists, and how the war has changed their lives. They’re the filmmakers as well as the subject. Thrilled to see and hear them in person! See this film if you can!
For a book lover like me, Falmouth Reads Together is one of the reasons I love Falmouth so much. This year the book is Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel.
To kickoff this event, they are holding discussions across Falmouth. See below if interested in attending one of the discussions.
See you there!

Daughters and sons of beautiful Falmouth, that time has come to register for The Race! For years, my duty was to take care of the little ones while their parents ran. Then, after 30 years of running, my knees were acting up, and I stopped. But 7 years later, I wanted to lose a few pounds, and started again. And figured that would be the year I’d run the race. So very fun! Every Falmouthite who can, should be a runner at least once. There’s nothing like it. (And I finished in 1 hour, 28 minutes, at 68 years old. Once a runner, always a runner!)
The reason I’m a loyal ticket holder at the WHFF is to see gems like Dear Zoe, one of last night’s presentations. (Sometimes I joke that seeing festival films is like kissing the proverbial toads before finding the handsome prince – a lot of less-than-admirable films that all seem to need editing, in a quest not to miss the occasional exquisite film.) The story is heart-rending, but it’s less about that than it is a riveting coming-of-age story, told by a brilliant cast. The relationships ring true, although with less skilled actors they could have been cliches. The acting is superb, the sound track refreshingly appropriate and not manipulative – and don’t miss the credits! They’re so imaginative, and so right for this film. Find this film, see it, you won’t be sorry! It is coming out on various video on demand platforms Nov 4th, I hear.
Look, listen…
