Dumbstruck Talking heads are common in documentaries, but they’re usually not made of cloth, wood and latex — as they occasionally are in “Dumbstruck,” a new film following five ventriloquists and their puppets as they pursue professional success and personal happiness. Director Mark Goffman, producer Lindsay Goffman and film subject Dan Horn will participate in Q&A sessions after these select screenings. The film will also run next week.
