These stories take us through many lovable and emotional milieu: from a Dungeon Puppet Slam\, to a journey with a North Maine Woods guide on his last moose hunt of the season\, or through a somber breaking of the silence that addresses a regional trauma\, and all the way to a owl research station in Downeast. \nWe’re so happy to have several of the Salt filmmakers and audio producers in the house to introduce and share some short reflections on their work and the evolving forms of documentary today. We invite Salt grads to convene\, and collide with the past and future of UNDO. \nCome through![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nProgram \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text] \nWelcome to King Friday’s Dungeon by Destiny Arturet \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]15 mins\, 2022[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Welcome to King Friday’s Dungeon shares the stories of three puppeteering acts as they brace for the challenge of preparing for King Friday’s Dungeon Puppet Slam at Mayo Street Arts in Portland\, Maine.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text] \nNight Owls by Sam Moore\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]12 mins\, 2022[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Night Owls follows migrating saw-whet owls as they are observed at a research station in Downeast Maine.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text] \nThis Moose Might Survive by Andrew Schwartz\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]11 mins\, 2020[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Maine guide Dave DeMerchant leads clients into the North Maine Woods for his last moose hunt before the season ends—it was a particularly strange time for DeMerchant\, a guide of more than three decades.
