WELLFLEET Winners of the second annual Wellfleet Youth Film Festival have been chosen, but you’ll have to wait a few more days to find out who they are.
“We wanted to give the feeling that this is a festival you have to attend,” Wellfleet Preservation Hall Managing Director Vanessa Downing said.
From the beginning Downing envisioned the youth film event with all the trappings of a traditional film festival: awards, interviews, a red carpet and more. But so far the COVID-19 virus threat has put a crimp in those plans.
Like last year the festival will screen online only, through the hall s home page. The link will go live on Friday, May 7, and remain available through the end of the day on Sunday, May 9. An in-person screening is planned in the hall s backyard sometime this summer.

At Little Garie, what goes in, must come out. That includes rubbish and small children carried in on your shoulders.
That makes durable useful things precious. Looking into the McKenzie family s two-room shack there, most people see an old table, an incomplete dinner set and the flotsam and jetsam of 70 years of beach holidays in a shack bought in 1951, before the land became part of the Royal National Park.
