Rinck employees prepared 25 backpacks with items from festival sponsors that will assist the filmmakers who attend the three-day festival. The Emerge opening night reception at Baxter Brewing Co. will launch the fifth annual festival at 6 p.m. Thursday. Baxter will release “Emerge IPA,” a limited-edition, draught beer brewed by Belanger and Frost. A rough-cut version of the Ben Keller documentary “Just One Step” will follow the reception at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Franco Center. Films and events will continue throughout the day Friday and Saturday at various locations in downtown Lewiston and Auburn. Go to emergefilmfestival.org for more information.
