Greetings,
I am pleased to announce that two films that I am very proud to be a
part of, Family Affair and Sun Come Up, have been selected to screen
in the International Documentary Association (IDA)’s 14th Annual
DocuWeeks Showcase!
DocuWeeks provides film-goers in NY and LA a chance to view some of
the year’s best documentaries, and also qualifies the films selected
for consideration for next year’s Academy Awards. Pray the Devil Back
to Hell screened in the DocuWeeks Theatrical Documentary Showcase in
the summer of 2008.
I hope you have a chance to attend screenings of these amazing films.
Please find more information about Family Affair and Sun Come Up below.
See you at the movies!
Sincerely,
Abigail Disney

Family Affair is an uncompromising documentary by Chico Colvard, which explores the complexities of a family subjected to enormous trauma, the depths of suffering a parent can inflict on his own children and yet also the remarkable resiliency that some people can muster even in the face of all this. The film is a meditation on forgiveness, on grace, and on the capacity of the human spirit to find love and meaning under the worst of circumstances.
Producer: Chico Colvard, Liz Garbus
Executive Producers: Abigail E. Disney, Dan Cogan
