A movie screening-tastic edition of BCTV’s Video Calendar includes ‘ShrinkRap: Dysfunctional Families in Film’ at Next Stage Arts, ‘Crime After Crime’ presented by the Women’s Freedom Center, Reel Queer Movie Nights’ ‘Queer Farmer Film Project.’ Plus, get a look a WVEW’s big dance party fundraiser, and Hollywood algorithm master Matthew Ostrowski at the Center for Digital Arts.

One of the great things about Brattleboro is the abundance of locally produced media including, for those of us who love music, independent community radio station WVEW.  This year, WVEW has been especially wonderful with many new shows featuring a wide variety of music including jazz, R&B, vintage American pop, indie rock, blues, reggae, avant garde, and much more. At the risk of sounding a bit hackneyed, there is truly something for everyone.  Check it out and see.

Independent radio is a treasure and if you want it to continue, it helps to support it as they rely on membership, donations, and underwriting for their funding.  Now would be an especially good time to support them as their annual fundraiser is Friday night (December 13) at the Backside Cafe from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.  Just buy a drink at the bar and you’ll be supporting the station.  Drop a check or some cash into their donation jar and you’ll do even more to make sure their great programming continues.

Join 5:45 Live from Pliny Park in downtown for a special Holiday Gallery Walk edition that includes BaBB’s annual tree-lighting ceremony, the Governor’s million-dollar trip Brattleboro, the Safe & Green campaigns SafStor expert panel on VY’s decommissioning, and much much more.
