Storytellers and Secrets at Woods Hole 'Dinner and a Movie'

Your guide to the Woods Hole Film Festival Winter Dinner & a Movie series: Sarah Polley's gene-bending "Stories We Tell," newly nominated for an award by the International Documentary Association, shows Saturday and there are 12 more films to come.

The Woods Hole Film Festival Winter Film Series "Dinner & a Movie" continues Saturday at the Cap'n Kidd restaurant, 77 Water Street, with "Stories We Tell," by Oscar-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley.

The feature documentary from 2012, running 108 minutes, was recently nominated for an award by the  International Documentary Association.

According to the WWFF website

"Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions."

The evening's $25 price includes entree and movie, but does not include beverage, dessert, tax or tip. Find out more and reserve seats at woodsholefilmfestival.org. The Cap’n Kidd may reserve a community table for patrons who reserve a single space.
