Out of Control? 
Is there truth in journalism? If so, who's telling it? Filmmaker Jehane Noujaim's new documentary "Control Room" unearths a fresh perspective on Middle Eastern news media and the war that still rages out of American earshot.

Weathering the Storm 
As they prepare for the premiere of "Baby It’s Cold Outside" at the Maine International Film Festival, the film’s writer/producer (Pam Ross) and director (Polly Bennell) share stories about the trials and tribulations of making the film that are as quirky and comedic as the movie itself.

The Starlet and the Inventor 
Just who is the real Hedy Lamarr? Filmmaker Lisa Perkins attempts to answer this question with "Secret Intelligence: The White-Hot Mind of Hedy Lamarr."

Poetry in Motion 
Filmmaker Louise Bourque addresses the subconscious mind, gender roles, and the concept of home with her innovative work which screens in a WIFVNE series this month at the Boston Public Library.

No Place Like Home 
For some, the search for success requires leaving home. For others -- like filmmaker Helena Schniewind -- success is found by coming home.  Her film "Fuzzy" screens in a WIFVNE series this month at the Boston Public Library.

Taking on a New Role
Patty Meyer talks about adding another hyphen in her title as producer-writer-director for the short film, "The List" which screened this June at the Boston International Film Festival.
