Opening Night Film - FLOW, FOR LOVE OF WATER will screen at both DNC
and RNC in coming weeks
August 22, 2008
This Monday, August 25, the award-winning film, FLOW, will screen for the
delegates at the Democratic National Convention. FLOW will screen at the
Republican National Convention in Minneapolis a week later. Local water
author, William E. Marks, has a "significant presence" in FLOW, and has
spoken and signed books after screenings at Sundance, Lincoln Center, and
the DC Environmental Film Festival.
FLOW will be the opening night film for the MV International Film Festival
on September 11, and will also screen at Noon on September 14.
Recently, Robert Redford released the following quote about FLOW: "Water
is the sleeping giant issue of the 21st Century, and we all need to wake
up about it. FLOW: For Love of Water, opens our eyes about the greatest
threat of our time - the global water crisis. It is a compelling and passionate
film. Its engaging narrative will grip the viewer."

Festival Wrap 2007
September, 2007
Martha's Vineyard is one of the most beautiful places on the Atlantic coast, a scenic haunt of the Kennedys and the Clintons full of rambling hills and quaint New England architecture that has taken a special place in the American imagination. It may seem strange, then, that the organizers of the Martha's Vineyard International Film Festival, which this weekend held its second annual run in the town of Vineyard Haven, would choose "Other Places" as their theme. Why bother with other places, when you're on Martha's Vineyard? "This is really an ideal place," says Nevette Previd, who runs the festival with co-chair Richard Paradise, "but in order to really appreciate it you have to leave, get away from your surroundings. And film can really take you somewhere else, even just for a few hours."
