It’s Midday at the Movies!
We start today's show with a closer look at The 2025 Maryland Film Festival, which opened this past Wednesday in Baltimore at the historic SNF Parkway Theater.
Tom is joined in studio by Nancy Proctor, the new executive director of the SNF Parkway and the Maryland Film Festival, and KJ Mohr, the Director of the Festival and the Director of Programming at the Parkway.
They spoke with Tom earlier this week about the 2025 Maryland Film Festival's return to the Parkway and the ambitious lineup of films and emerging visual technologies being showcased at the Festival.
The 2025 Maryland Film Festival is at the SNF Parkway through Sunday, November 9. For more information about the program lineup and ticketing, click here.
Later in the hour, Tom talks with Jed Dietz, the founder and former director of the Maryland Film Festival.
Jed reflects on the MdFF's history and its latest run at the SNF Parkway Theater, and offers his picks for films to catch at the Festival before it wraps on Sunday.
Jed and Tom also look at some of the other new releases playing on local screens and streaming on TV.
[An earlier version of this post incorrectly described the Maryland Film Festival's recent history. The Festival skipped only one year —2023 — and celebrated its 25th anniversary at the 2024 Maryland Film Festival in May of last year.]
