FILM Film fest on the way March 10, 2005 Film buffs, get ready to revel in your favorite art form. Dozens of new and varied creations will be screened at the fifth annual Martha's Vineyard Independent Film Festival March 18 through 20 at the Chilmark Community Center. Running from Friday evening right through Sunday evening, the festival is featuring award winning films from around the globe, and some made right here on Martha's Vineyard too. Ethnic meals, home-made popcorn, receptions, and live music will add to the enjoyment. Complimentary events include a Filmmaker Panel Saturday afternoon and a Sunday Samba Brunch. Organizer Thomas Bena recently listed some of the high points in the many-faceted program. Among the evening feature presentations are Wim Wender's “Land of Plenty,” a sobering and uplifting look at America; “Paternal Instinct,” featuring two gay men, one good witch, and a baby; “War is Sell,” all about war propaganda; and “The Take,” exploring the takeover of Argentinean factories by workers. A number of short films on Iraq, by an Iraqi, will be shown as well as the short “Apology,” in which Americans send out an apology for the torture of Iraqi prisoners. “Parallel Lines” documents a post-911 road trip from California back home to New York. On a lighter note is “Single on M.V.” by Stacey Witt. There will be an array of varied and compelling shorts too. Island filmmaker Jeremy Mayhew's short film, “In Haiti's Hands,” on Saturday tells of Haiti's poor and a group of nuns trying to help. “Sad Song” begins and ends the weekend program. Martha's Vineyard Independent Film Festival, March 18 to 20, Chilmark Community Center. Watch for full festival details in next week's Times Calendar section. |
