Welcome letter

Welcome to the 2013 L e w i s t o n A u -burn Film Festi-

val – four days dedicated to the world of cinema, with healthy doses of music and visual arts along the way.

We’re proud to welcome TV’s “Survivorman” Les Stroud to the festival this year. He’ll be signing books to kick off the fes-tival at the opening night of Prose Gallery, located at 223 Lis-bon Street in Lewiston. It’s a great chance to meet this celeb-rity, snap a picture, get an autograph and enjoy Lewiston’s newest art gallery, featuring a display of Canadian photogra-pher Laura Bombier’s work.

Stroud will be back on Saturday, hosting a Question and Answer at 1:30 p.m. at The Public Theatre to answer all of those questions about the popular “Survivorman” TV show. Later that night brings The Les Stroud Band together for its first-ever Maine show at Ramada Conference Center at 9:30 p.m. It’s a cool mix of Dave Matthews Band, Ray Lamontagne, Neil Young and, of course, features Stroud’s trademark har-monica playing.

But, at the heart of the film festival are the films and Friday night we are honored to host the world premiere of The Pelo-ton Project. Produced by Patrick Dempsey, Laura Davis and Ramsey Tripp – who also directs – this very special world pre-miere sold out in early March, but a second viewing will be available to LAFF attendees on Sunday afternoon, April 7 at The Community Little Theatre in Auburn.

You’ll also get the chance to see 75 other films throughout Saturday and Sunday at six downtown Lewiston and Auburn venues. These films are from next door and around the world. Some are debuting for the first time and some have been racking up awards on the international film festival circuit. There’s drama, comedy, romance, documentary, thrillers and everything in between to satisfy any moviegoer's great-est expectations!

On Saturday, at the Lewiston Public Library, LAFF will in-troduce its first Student Film Competition starting at 10 a.m. Featuring films from local and regional students, this allows the world to see tomorrow’s filmmakers today. Admission to the student festival and the Les Stroud Q&A on Saturday, along with the Sunday viewing of The Peloton Project, are all part of the two-day movie ticket and do not cost any extra.

If you’re looking to enhance your experience, we’d urge you to consider attending Saturday night’s gala dinner and awards ceremony, bringing the festival’s filmmakers and filmgoers together for a night of recognizing the Best of the Best in a Golden Globes-like atmosphere complete with enter-tainment.

And if that weren't enough, we invite you to join us for brunch on Sunday morning at Fish Bones American Grill in Lewiston. Mingle with newly-crowned winners and other filmgoers as the festival kicks off its final day.

We know you’ll find something you love at the 2013 Lewis-ton Auburn Film Festival and can’t wait to see you here!

One Tuesday Morning2013 | Freeport, Maine | Maine PremiereDirector: Walter SkoldOne Tuesday Morning tells the remarkable story of how tragedy launched three average women from Maine on a 10-year patriotic journey of service and remembrance. After personally greeting over 100,000 troops on their way to war, and standing vigil outside every single Tuesday morning since 9/11, the nationally-heralded Freeport Flag Ladies have redefined the term ‘flag waver.’ The film follows their transformation into Old Glory’s three best friends, and along the way explores issues of patriotism, the

meaning of the flag, and the consequences of war. The story is a celebration of the American spirit that animates these three retired women, who lead the town of Freeport, Maine in a 10-year commemoration of 9/11 by organizing and dedicating a lasting memorial made of World Trade Center steel.Documentary, 81 minutesCLT – Sat.

Tangled 8 2012 | Rangeley/Biddeford, Maine | World PremiereDirector: John E SeymoreTangled 8 is a unique anthology of short films that explores the nature of grief through the eyes of eight different couples. Originally written as a single short, directed by John E Seymore, inspired by the musical idea of variations on a similar theme, decided to expand the idea into eight pieces, using a range of visual and directorial styles. By recreating the same scene with characters of different ages, ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations, all in different phases of the grieving process, Tangled 8 crafts a meditation on the nature of love and loss that pays homage to filmmaking itself with nods to filmmakers from John Ford to Edward Burns.Feature, 110 minutesFAHC – Sat.
