 |
|
I'm taking a couple classes this semester, one of which is Cinema, and I'm required to attend the Florida Film Festival this upcoming week instead of going to class (uhhh awesome!)
Anyways in searching through the hundreds of movies that will be shown this coming week so I can pick one, I came across an especially cool one and wanted to share, watch the trailer, looks intense, gonna see it for sure:

Plot Summary:
The artists among us--people like septuagenarian Isaiah Zegar and his wife Julia--take more risks in a day than many of us take in a lifetime. This loving, complex portrait by their son Jeremiah, explores the obsessive passion that possesses Isaiah to create 50,000 square feet of mosaic murals in their south Philadelphia neighborhood. Isaiah's single-minded, narcissistic, and unstable personality takes its toll on his wife and his family in this deeply intimate film. Visually stunning and emotionally raw, IN A DREAM presents a world of chaotic extremes. The art is nothing short of magnificent--dizzying, reflective towers, and wall upon wall of beauty, painstakingly created by an artist living within a stone's throw of sanity. Thousands of tourists make the pilgrimage to the neighborhood to drink it in. Even as Julia strives to keep Isaiah mentally balanced, he nonetheless betrays her in word and deed, causing his own home to crumble. What price art, indeed.

It's in Orlando at the Enzian Theater in Maitland, FL (NE Orlando), but they also have a lot of various showings at alternate Theaters, like this year is also at the Regal Cinema Winter Park Village, and a popcorn flick outdoors in the grass at the Park in Winter Park (free).
http://www.floridafilmfestival.org
For those who haven't been to Enzian, it's sick, order dinner drinks and dessert while you watch the flick at a table or on some couches!
From Enzian's website:
As a nonprofit, community supported organization, only 25% of Enzian's operating income is derived from ticket sales. The bulk of the remaining income comes from the tremendous support of enthusiasts and supporters of independent storytelling just like you, as well as corporations and foundations.
Enzian keeps you entertained, inspired, educated, and connected.
^^^ I didn't know that
