The Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival has carved out a comfortable off-season niche with its casual approach to presenting new independent movies. From Thursday through Sunday, a full schedule of documentary and feature films were screened with many discussions with filmmakers after. Besides films, local music, farm-inspired food and workshops for kids were held.
