The films will be followed by a panel and Q&A session with the filmmakers and local farmers and then a “Meet Your Makers” Reception where filmmakers and movie goers can mingle and enjoy some complimentary snacks—of course featuring local foods. Free with a cash donation or nonperishable food item for the Chatham Silent Food Pantry.
