About this Event

Join us for a special screening of Greetings from New England, a documentary exploring tradition, identity, and the quiet strength found in place, landscape, and heritage. Filmmaker Jarrett McPhee will be with us to introduce the film and share insight into his creative process and inspiration.

Following the screening, Jarrett will give a talk on one of Iceland’s most unique cultural traditions: stone lifting—a historic test of strength that once determined fishing rights, community standing, and personal resilience. Today, stone lifting continues as a symbolic connection to Iceland's past.

Come for the film, stay for the conversation, and enjoy the chance to connect with others who share an appreciation for Nordic culture, storytelling, and history.

Saturday, January 31st | 1pm | $10 suggested donation per person
