Denmark film opening act at film fest (Continued from Page B) the story of a family reunion where the only ones who show up are the ones who didn’t know it was cancelled. In a rare honor, this little-film-that-could has been awarded the prestigious opening night slot for the 15th annual Maine International Film Festival. The film will make its official debut Friday, July 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the fabulous, newly-restored Waterville Opera House. Programmer and festival founder Ken Eisen, praises the film as “beautiful, funny, modest, profound, original, following in a tradition (in fact, justifying it for about the first time ever), human, honest,” before adding, “I was blown away.” Ms. Black will be joining the rest of the cast and crew of the film for this event. Telling the simple story of a failed family reunion, in which a long-estranged mother and her stubborn daughter are reunited, seemingly by an act of God, VacationLand is inspired by the rhythms and moods of summer in Maine, and trades in themes of family, fate, hope, and redemption that find expression in these north woods. Starring along with Ms. Black are Peter Pentz, Sarah Paul Ocampo and 12-year-old Ivy Girdwood. Funny, moving and celebratory, VacationLand stands as testament to the pioneering spirit of rural Maine, and is sure to resonate with local audiences. The film, which was produced by Denmark’s Sarah Françoise
and Jamie Hook through their production company, Complicated, Inc., was shot in August 2010 and August 2011. The film is a coproduction with the Denmark Arts Center, which provided, among other things, editing facilities and production resources. Vacationland was directed by Denmark Arts Center’s own Artistic Director, Jamie Hook, whose previous feature, The Naked Proof, also played at MIFF in 2005.
