Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, eve adults?

They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Film Festival tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.

“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.

The nine shorts to b shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “Alot of the material is really mature,” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.”  Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ (移民) feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.

The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressure.

     Martha's Vineyard (葡萄園) got its name from its discoverer, Artholomew Gasbnold, who named it
after his wife Martha, and it was also in memory of the thick growth of wild vines (葡萄) on the land.
     The island of Martha's Vineyard lies south of Cape Cod off the Southern eastern coast of
Massachusetts, United States. It is nearly 20 miles long and runs from 2 to 10 miles in width. There are
wide, hard beaches on the southern side. The north is hilly, but in the south and eastern parts there are
wide areas of open land covered with wild flowers.
     The island was discovered early in the 17th cen-tury. The Indians were quiet and friendly, and the
newcomers fished for a living, making a lot of money from whaling (捕鯨). With the decline (衰落) of
whaling and sailing ships, Martha's Vineyard was almost for-gotten until about 60 years ago when people began to buy the old houses of the whaling captains and the sheds of the fishermen near the beaches. Now people go there year after year for their summer holidays.
1. In this passage the writer doesn't tell us ______.
A. how the island got its name
B. the population of the island
