Le FIFA International Films on Art presents a selection of award winning films at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, Italy October 6-8th . The Faithful screens October 7th. These screenings are free and open to the public and take place during the Venice Biennale. See below for the full schedule.
I found this photograph on a public domain image search. It makes me long for an airplane to fill with every collaborator, participant, supporter, donor, programmer, curator, jury member who has contributed to this film’s very existence. I would happily captain your gondola to the screening. I think I had this actual dream last night. Grazie to each and every one of you.
One such faithful viewer, filmmaker Marc Schloss sent me this photograph of Princess Diana arriving at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice for a dinner, 8th June 1995. She is wearing a dress designed by Jacques Azagury.
This image just takes my breath away. All of those years of toiling away, believing there was a film in all that material . . . and a select few believed it, too.
