The detailing on this County Street gem is remarkable! New Bedford is famous for its historic architecture, and properties like this one near Clasky Common are exactly why.

The iconic red door sure caught my eye.

I was catching up with a college radio friend, so I looked up when the major local paper profiled the station, & its reporter interviewed me. I wish I could find a larger & better resolution pic. Here I am about to turn 23, & I look like a moppet. #Throwback #WSMU #SouthCoastMA

In my town of Fairhaven, Massachusetts, we're lucky to have the Millicent Library. Its staff have not given up on physical media. The library's carefully curated movie collection rivals what any boutique video store would be stocking today. Plus, borrows are FREE! #SouthCoast #SouthCoastMA

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

Morning walk at Westport Town Farm last week. Canadian wildfire smoke had settled in the area, bending the morning light to its will.

This afternoon I said fuck it. Instead of devoting my meager office time to volunteer duties like usual, I spent some pleasant time searching through The Fairhaven Star (1879–1967). Its pages contain a surprising amount of local film history. Expect future pieces! #MeTime #FilmSky #SouthCoastMA

I ran around #SouthCoastMA repping one of my favorite film festivals today!

#SFSFF #SilentFilm #FilmSky
Beth Ann Gallagher stands in her yard in front of trees and English ivy. She's wearing a black, vintage tee bought from the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Its slogan "True art transcends time" floats above a still of Louise Brooks in PANDORA's BOX (1929). It's the moment her widowed character all dressed in black lifts her mourning veil while staring at the camera. The film festival's logo is partially obscured by folds across the lower tee.

A special Beth Ann's birthday month treat is coming to South Coast Cinemaniacs in July! I just paid the American Genre Film Archive for the public performance rights for this gem. One night only (7/13), get out of the heat to enjoy this thrilling chiller! #ClassicFilm #SouthCoastMA #FilmSky
Finnish poster for the Finnish Folk Horror film Valkoinen peura / The White Reindeer (1952). The poster features a collage of images. The Northern Lights is in a blue sky. A white reindeer is superimposed on a snowy hill. The heroine stands in the middle ground, watched by a man behind her. In the foreground, the smiling heroine is embraced by her husband. All the people depicted portray Sami, wearing traditional, outdoor, winter dress.

I'm convinced the only way for Portuguese-American representation on film to increase is for Portuguese-American, independent filmmakers to start telling those stories. In the regional, indie filmmaking of #SouthCoastMA, that is happening. We need one or more to break national. #Luso

My Saturday morning plans! As part of my extended birthday celebrations, I'm going to my favorite used book sale. Here I am with my 2022 haul of mostly film books. Last year's was even bigger, so I'm bringing the toddler wagon today! #BookHaul #SouthCoastMA
Beth Ann Gallagher at her favorite used book sale. Wearing a cap with her curly waves of hair down, a Turner Classic Movies black t-shirt, and black biker leggings, she stands in front of a Quaker meeting house and tents. She's holding up a Turner Classic Movies tote bag and a Besame Cosmetics tote bag filled with mostly film books.

Not to be a Masshole about this, but Mainers try to claim their state was the site of the first naval engagement of the American Revolutionary War. Never has the month of June come before May on the calendar, though! #SouthCoastMA

As part of #ArtWeekSouthCoast, we're screening THE RED SHOES (1948) on Monday. It's the ultimate ballet film, inspiring endless generations to dance. The movie explores artistic ambition & its costs, particularly for women. #ClassicFilm #SouthCoastMA #FilmSky
South Coast Cinemaniacs flyer. The upper half shows a still from the movie The Red Shoes (1948). Dancer Vicky (Moira Shearer) pauses at the end of a spooky lane of mausoleums. The second half of the poster shows the screen's details. The movies screens at the Millicent Library in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, on Monday May 11 at 5:30 PM. Admission is free.
