In Memoriam New Hope Film Festival founding artist and Director of Communications Marianne Speiser passed away in December 2018 after a long health struggle. Born in New Jersey, Marianne moved to New Hope in 1964 and quickly became a vibrant member of the community. She served as Director of the New Hope Tourism and Information Center, bringing people to the artsy, bohemian town she loved. As a gifted musician and composer, she also had many artistic talents of her own. A dedicated mother and grandmother, Marianne was deeply devoted to her family, neighbors and friends. She cannot easily be replaced as the Festival’s press liaison and fundraiser, but her ever optimistic spirit is with us.
