Bob Krist Shorts Program: JOHN FAWCETT: A TOY STORY For nearly 40 years, John Fawcett has run an amazing toy museum on the side of Route 1 in Waldoboro, Maine. It’s the kind of place you always drive past, but never seem to have time to visit. Which is is a shame because it is a magical excursion into our past. Running Time: 11 minutes A THOUSAND AUTUMNS A tradition as old as Iceland itself, rettir, the annual movement of herds of sheep and horses from summer pasture in the wild, remote highlands back down to coastal farms and grazing areas in the autumn, was vital for the early settlers to survive the long, often brutal winters. From the time the first settlers arrived on the island in the 900’s, right through to today, the people of Iceland have put their daily lives on hold ever autumn to gather and retrieve their herds from some of the most rugged and unforgiving landscapes in the world. A Thousand Autumns follows a young farmer named Ingvar and his small band of men and women as they battle the torrential rains, life-threatening floods, and spectacular but unforgiving terrain, to bring their animals back to safety. Running Time: 18 minutes THE MASTER CRAFTSMEN OF MICHOACAN A look at some of the master craftsmen and traditions of the Michoacan state in Mexico, where these crafts have been in continuous practice since the days of the Conquistadors. Running Time: 13 minutes MAQUOIT II: THE LIFELINE OF CASCO BAY Senior Captain Gene Willard has been working for Casco Bay Lines for 40 years, mostly running the mailboat that delivers passengers, freight, and mail to six islands in Casco Bay.
