More Than 300 Attend Vinfen Film Festival

On March 15, Vinfen not only celebrated its 30th anniversary in grand style but also communicated some very important messages about mental health, developmental disabilities and community-based care.

The day-long celebration, held at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, consisted of two parts: Moving Images, a six-hour film festival about mental illness and developmental disabilities, followed by a 30th Anniversary Gala Reception honoring Gerry Morrissey and Bernie Carey, both of whom have dedicated more than three decades to advancing policies and services for Massachusetts citizens with disabilities.

Moving Images, presented by Vinfen in conjunction with the Museum of Fine Arts Film Program, attracted more than 300 people, many of whom were human service professionals, consumers or advocates.
