"The NetWorks: Art + Fishing + Community” will have its US premiere and release celebrations this November 2026. Film Director and Producer Ken Kinna of B-Roll Films will host a film lunch and release party at the Cut on Nov 29th. The event will feature Q&A with the main characters and supporting organizations, including: Erika Senft Miller, Ann Molloy, Joe Sanfilippo and James Tarantino.
The film is about an art project initiated by Manship Artists Residency and an international multi-sensory artist (Senft Miller) coming from Vermont with a team of artists to work with local Gloucester fishermen and local artists to create an immersive art installation on the harbor of Gloucester, Massachusetts. The film celebrates this combined community effort and also introduces us to some of our fishermen and takes up some of the topics confronting the fishing industry today. The film is dedicated to the crew of the F/V Lilly Jean. This film was recently honored with three film awards in Sicily, this past August, including: Best Cultural Film, Best Director, and Best Feature Documentary inspiring a trip to Sicily by some of the contributors to The NetWorks public art project who are featured in the film, inspiring and renewed connection to the fishing and cultural heritage of Gloucester.
Kinna and Raynolds hope these events will bring together many of those involved and invite new opportunities for communication around the themes of fishing, the arts, and community. It is clear that the heritage is great but it is also clear that more communication and action is needed to best preserve this heritage and its future particularly in regard to the health and safety of our Fishermen, our scientific observers, our fishing industry as well as our fish.
