It was like a dream to bring The Faithful to CIFF - to watch an incredible lineup of films together. The festival directors, programmers, staff, and volunteers pulled off the seemingly impossible opening its doors, feeding our souls, while managing to keep conscientious attendees safe and healthy.
Q&A following The Faithful’s World Festival Premiere, moderated by Grace Remington. Sept 19, 2021. Journey’s End, Rockland, Maine.
They even converted this boat hanger on the harbor into a proper theater with DCP projection and 5.1 surround sound!
Thank you Ben Fowlie, Sean Flynn, Jeanelle Augustin, Milton Guillen, Camille Howard, Eynar Pineda, Anna Feder, Jean & Mark Patiky! It was the premiere we dreamed of - well worth the wait.
