Friends, even with the best of plans, some things are liable to change last minute, and even though we thought we thought of everything. Below are a few important changes to the program, and some special events we want to make sure you know about.
Leonard Peltier Speaks | Fri, 6 PM | Capitol
Following Friday's showing of Free Leonard Peltier, Peltier will speak to the festival audience via pre-recorded video. As many of you know, Peltier was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences in 1977 and was only granted clemency this year. He will address the audience as a newly freed man. There are still tickets available to this show, which is sponsored by Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman and Central Vermont Community Radio (WGDH/WGDR).
Cancelled: Sowing Seeds Panel (not the movie)
This panel didn't come together as hoped, so it has been cancelled. Take the time to have dinner at one of Montpelier's fabulous restaurants before coming to see the movie Seeds on Saturday at 7 PM at the Capitol. Tickets are still available for the movie, which is sponsored by Salon Black Walnut and NOFA-VT.
Eephus Cast Q&A | Sun, 7 PM | Savoy Upstairs
Stay after the screening for a Q&A with cast members from the movie! Tickets are still on sale for this film, which is sponsored by AARP of Vermont.
Events from the Vermont Production Collective
Burlington This Is You | Sat, 4:45 PM | Savoy Downstairs
Join us for a preview of the unfinished work sample to test sample scenes, plot points and formal approaches. Followed by a Q&A with co-director Myles David Jewell, co-director/participant Lauren-Glenn Davitian, and producer/participant Meghan O’Rourke in attendance. There is still room in this free event.
Narrative Features in Vermont | Sun, 5 PM | Savoy Downstairs
The panel will cover areas of production like idea development, fundraising, assembling a team, working with community stakeholders, and more. There will also be an opportunity for questions from attendees. This is still room in this free event.
Let's Party, People!
Opening Night Celebration | 7-11 PM | Three Penny Taproom
