Though Malden is a place, one can ask “who it is” as if it breathes and has a story. 

This is the idea behind the prompt that 23 members of Malden’s community have been exploring together as they participate in the Filmbuilding Malden: Our City in Motion program taking place this summer. As part of their collaborative filmmaking process, the five groups of filmbuilders will share their films with the public at a series of four film screening events taking place this fall on September 23, October 7, 14, and 28.  

The first screening, Voices of Malden, will be held at 7:00 PM Saturday, September 23, at City Hall, 215 Pleasant St. The screening of two short films with discussion will include a dessert reception on the City Hall Balcony and a tour of artwork by Rosene Wine, Grace Julian Murthy and other Gallery@57 artists. The event is free but requires registration.

Dates for the other screening events are as follows: 

The Filmbuilding Malden program is funded by the City of Malden as part of an ARPA grant. The screenings will be partially funded by contributions from businesses, organizations, and individuals.
