B. Gratun with this year's "A Concert of Medleys," parodies of film-related songs. A variety of complimentary refreshments and tasty foods will be available at this Opening Reception.

The Avenue of the Arts Film Festival and Exhibit was founded by L. B. Gratun in 2004 as an official event of the Democratic National Convention and of the Committee. Screenings of award winning documentaries and appearances by leading filmmakers took place at Northeastern University, Simmons College, and Boston Library locations, catching the attention of Variety International, The Boston Globe, and other publications. Noteworthy films shown have been "ahead of the curve" on such issues as WMD, voting practices, the Iraq War, global environment, and the financial crisis, to name a few. Campus talent has been given a voice as well.
