The Woods Hole Film Festival Dinner & A Movie series continues on Saturday, January 18th with the award-winning documentary Champions of the Golden Valley by Ben Sturgulewski (2024).

About the film: In the remote mountain villages in Afghanistan, a newfound passion for skiing attracts young athletes from rival ethnic groups who showcase their resourcefulness and skill on the slopes. Equipped with minimal gear, makeshift skis, and no chairlift, a determined ski coach organizes a ski race like no other, uniting the community in a moment of joy and camaraderie. However, when their country falls to the Taliban, many of the skiers are displaced across the globe as refugees, confronted with an uncertain future.

Tickets HERE: $16; $12 for members; and $10 student/military $10. Tickets are on sale in advance and at the door if they are not sold out in advance.

The screening begins at 7 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Before the screening ticket holders may receive a discount on the meal portion of dinner at the Quahog Republic Leeside Pub, 29 Railroad Ave, Woods Hole. Contact the restaurant for reservations.
