We're Unanimous
Congratulations to Director Alan Chebot, Producer Sarah-Taylor Wieluns and the entire crew at Parallax Productions for winning the John Schlessinger Award for first-time documentary filmmakers at the 17th annual Provincetown International Film Festival. We were honored to have Outermost Radio: The Film chosen to open the festival on Thursday at Wellfleet Preservation Hall and to have it shown again in the big room at Provincetown Town Hall on Sunday. The film now moves on to the Kansas International Film Festival as we await word from a number of other film festivals across the country. There's no word yet on when the film will be shown again here on the Cape. DJ and former volunteer of the year Hilary Bamford also made an appearance in another film that was shown at this year's Film Festival. Packed In A Trunk won the HBO Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature and tells the story of a Provincetown artist whose work was nearly lost. We're pretty sure it was Hilary's contribution that put the film over the top. Packed In A Trunk will be shown on HBO on July 20 at 9pm.

Movie Night
In the rush of summer, we don't schedule as many events as at other times of year, but there a few things afoot that you should know about. We're having a movie night here at the Schoolhouse this weekend on Saturday as DJ and Board member Carol Courneen presents Tom Rush: No Regrets. The film incorporates contemporary and archival concert footage with interviews with DJs, record executives and Tom himself. Look for lots of cameos by a diverse set of characters from across the generations. We're also running a raffle this month to give away a big batch of tickets to musical events across the Cape in August. On July 17 at 10am, one lucky winner will be chosen to receive tickets to The Cotuit Center for The Arts, The Payoment Performing Arts Center, The Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater, The Provincetown Theater and many more.

Sixth annual CranJam September 19-20

It may come as no surprise that there are plenty of festivals on the Cape in the summer. Plans are coming together nicely for the sixth annual Cran Jam at the Harwich Cranberry Festival on September 19 and 20. The musical line up will once again feature all local bands and this year we've added a showcase of young talent to the bill. As always, there will be a park full of arts and crafts vendors and a lot full of food trucks at the event. There are a few other things to do before we get to September, however. This Saturday July 11 at Drummer Boy Park in Brewster the Bre
