For five days the heart of West Tisbury was transformed into a movable feast of cinema for the 23rd annual Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival.

The 23rd Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival opened Wednesday evening at the Grange Hall with Waiting to Continue: The Venezuelan Asylum Seekers on Martha’s Vineyard. The festival continues through Sunday.

The Louisa Gould Gallery is hosting a meet and greet with artist Christie Scheele, who is introducing a new body of work for the season.

The allure of tango music drew an eager audience to the Martha’s Vineyard Performing Arts Center Friday night for a concert by QuinTango, the Virginia-based tango ensemble that has been visiting Island schools over the past week.

At this year’s Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival, the glue binding together many of its 28 films is the Vineyard and the creativity of the Island community.
