Now in its 15th year the Community Stories Film Festival, presented by Docs In Progress, is dedicated to showcasing local stories by local filmmakers. A celebration of independent documentary filmmaking, Community Stories unites filmmakers, cinephiles, and community members for three days of screenings, filmmaker Q&As, and conversations.

This program was made possible by the generous support of Heritage Montgomery.
