Winchester resident Pamela Tanner Boll, who also happens to be an Academy Award-winning filmmaker, will be screening her new documentary at the Nextdoor Theater on September 11, 2015.

Boll’s documentary titled “A Small Good Thing” recently earned top honors at the Boston International Film Festival.

The film, which she directed, portrays a story of people distancing themselves from the idea “more is better.” Instead individuals in the film relish a closer connection with themselves and the natural world.

A Small Good Thing “explores how the American Dream has reached its end and how for most of us, greater material wealth and upward mobility are no longer possible. To find out what is taking its place, this feature documentary follows six people in one community who have recast their lives so they can live with a sense of meaning,” according to the documentary’s website.

Boll shot the film in many areas scattered throughout the Berkshires.

The film will screen on Friday, September 11, at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at Fall For the Arts. The Nextdoor Theater is located at 40 Cross St. Admission is to the screening is free of charge.
