Local stories take the screen as Belvedere Home Made Film Festival returns
Tiburon resident Mark Freiberg looked outside his bayside window one day in 2024 and noticed an unusual boat. There in Paradise Cay, among the other ships he watches daily, was a small towboat.
“I saw this little boat, and I’ve got to say, it’s an odd-looking boat,” Freiberg said. “I just got very curious about it.”
That curiosity grew when the boat began working near the Corinthian Yacht Club that year. Its extended stay gave Freiberg opportunities to speak with crew members and meet the boat’s owner. He also recorded some footage of the boat from the air with his drone camera.
This spring that footage became the raw material for “P Cay” — Freiberg’s short video submission to the third annual Belvedere Home Made Film Festival. The family-friendly festival will screen about 30 short films by community members, each three minutes or less, at 6 p.m. Oct. 9 at Belvedere Community Park.
The free event invites families to bring blankets and sit on the lawn to watch the show, which will also include live music by the Windsor Street Blues Band, popcorn, hot cocoa and homemade soup. The band plays at 6 p.m., and the films will start about 7. A drop-off point and limited seating will be available on Community Road for older adults and people with mobility concerns. Before the festival, Be Ready Belvedere, the city’s emergency-preparedness working group, will hold a shelter-in-place event from 5 to 6 p.m. at the park. Volunteers will hand out stay-box supplies to Belvedere residents registered with AlertMarin and help others sign up.
