PREDATORS

Posing provocative and perhaps unanswerable questions about society’s conception of crime and punishment, <i>Predators</i> examines the phenomenon of To Catch a Predator, which exposed child predators through televised sting operations. Director David Osit conducts a thoughtful, layered analysis of the show and its legacy, surfacing legally and ethically questionable tactics employed to turn vigilante justice into media spectacle. In the process, Osit asks viewers to consider their own complicity in consuming true crime programs, which trade in public humiliation and schadenfreude as popular entertainment.

About Nantucket Film Festival

The Nantucket Film Festival was founded in 1996 by siblings Jill and Jonathan Burkhart. The Burkharts lived on the island year-round, and knew it was the perfect place to begin a festival that combined with their love of film and community. In 1997, Mystelle Brabbée joined the team and today serves as the Executive Director. NFF continues to thrive each year by always remaining true to its mission, to promote the cultural awareness and appreciation of the art of screenwriting and storytelling.
