Dock-u-mentary: "Diving for Scallops" and "Keeper"

Join us for our upcoming free Dock-u-mentary film screening!

*Please note: Due to the ongoing government shutdown, the film will be shown at New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center (38 Bethel Street) unless otherwise stateed.*

On November 21 at 7:00pm, FHC will be screening two short films by veteran storytellers and filmmakers Caroline Losneck and Christoph Gelfand. The film screenings will be followed by a Q&A with both creators.
“Diving for Scallops” (2015) – This short documentary profiles a one-armed fisherman in Maine who dives for sea scallops on the ocean floor. For James Sewell, diving for scallops floor off Maine’s jagged coastline transcends making a living – it’s what keeps him alive. This film has screened in the New York Times Op Docs and at festivals around the country.
“Keeper” (2017) – ​A short film created for the Maine Maritime Museum’s permanent immersive exhibition, Into the Lantern. The film highlights a brief history of lighthouse keepers, and some of the people involved in the work.
