51 Films From 19 Countries - Several World Premieres
(MAY 21, 2019 Los Angeles, CA) Cate Blanchett plays 13 unique characters in 'Manifesto', together with 51 films from 19 countries at the 6th Annual Fine Arts Film Festival, to be held May 24-26, 2019. FAFF 2019 begins at Beyond Baroque Theater in Venice on Friday and Saturday, and continues at ViCA/The Loft in San Pedro on Sunday, May 26. A few days ago, the FAFF 2019 staff realized that half the films in the festival are helmed by woman. "Our Marketing and Sponsors Director pointed it out to me just the other day. The fact that it happened organically, simply by our eminent judges focusing on the best films, is one of the coolest things about this fact."
Films from around the world will be featured, many in their Premiere at this year's FAFF, featuring profiles of renowned artists such as John Van Hamersveldt, Kokoschka and Botero, subjects such as diverse as art forgotten and discovered, art and madness, gentrification, politics, the Cold War, a history of lithographs from India depicting Shiva, comedy, tragedy, famous and infamous art, music, dance and performance world figures will be presented in this not-to-be-missed 3 day festival.
FAFF 2019 will present Official Selections and Awards of Virtual Reality films at Creative Technology Center at the Brewery Annex in early June, with details to be announced very shortly.
FULL SCHEDULE AND TICKETS
The Festival is dedicated to presenting the finest new and rare films about art around the world - in the western capital of the art world. The films — narratives, documentaries, experimental, and hybrid genres — tell stories about how art is made, how artists survive, how they think and work, and what makes creativity our most important skill, and creativity our best hope for mankind.
“We are very proud to be screening so many great, rare, and never-before-seen films, and are proud to be working with fine filmmakers from around the world. Films about art and creativity are always a labor of love, and the film and art worlds have always intertwined. It's easily forgotten how much blood, sweat, and tears go into the work we do. We expect this festival will amaze audiences with intelligent, cutting edge, eloquent, passionate and fun films. Many of these films will never be available to be seen anywhere else, certainly not on Netflix. We have several exciting announcements planned for coming days and don't forget the amazing VR section we have lined up as well!” says Juri Koll, Director of the Festival, and of the Venice Institute of Contemporary Art (ViCA), which produces the Festival as part of it's exhibition programs.
The Saturday program will culminate with red carpet arrivals (7:30pm), a screening of Manifesto, and Awards Presentations that night beginning at 9:30pm. Musical performances will follow the Awards Ceremony Saturday nigh. The Sunday program will culminate with an Audience Award Presentation at 8:30pm.
Sponsors past and present include Beyond Baroque, 4 Brothers Wine Co., Flake, and many others.
