The Last Lightkeepers
Directed by Rob Apse
An award-winning feature documentary about lighthouse preservation in New England and the people behind the rescue.
A Lighthouse Film Odyssey
This "gorgeous" and “important” documentary film across New England explores the region's final act to save these American sentinels that once defined a nation. Now deemed excess, individuals fight to preserve lighthouses and recount their folklore before their lights go dim.
The film was featured in festivals across the US and as far as South Korea, winning Gold at the Spotlight Documentary Film Awards and an Award of Merit at the Impact Doc Awards.
“Like the kaleidoscopic foliage of fall, the coastal lighthouse is an emblem of our region, one that Apse is memorializing with a cast of colorful characters — historical custodians”
— Thomas Farragher, Boston Globe
