As we celebrate our 20th year, the Newburyport Documentary Film Festival is pleased to partner with the City of Newburyport Resiliency Committee to present an evening of films that address the climate crisis as it affects our community. This timely program about one of our biggest collective challenges will take place Sunday, April 28 at the Firehouse Center for the Arts, Newburyport. Reception begins at 6 PM. Film screnning at 7 PM. Tickets $18-20. Chowder from New England Fishmongers will be for sale during the reception.
“Last Man Fishing” (dir. JD Schuyler) is a cinematic look at a vastly changing seafood system through the lens of small-boat fishers and experts. Narrated by best-selling author Mark Bittman and starring “Captain Tim” Rider, proprietor of Kittery’s New England Fishmongers, the film explores the struggle for the survival of independent, sustainability-oriented fishermen in the face of the industrial-scale destruction of ocean habitats by corporate seafood interests.

Inspired by the Massachusetts Oyster Project, “The Oyster Revival: Restoring Our Waters” (dir. Allison Keir) is a short film about the miraculous power of oysters to clean and restore our polluted urban and coastal marine habitats.
Funding for this program is provided by the City of Newburyport Resiliency Committee through a grant from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs’ Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Action program.
