Chris King, producer at Watermark Films just sent this in:
"Having waited on pins and needles for a few weeks now for follow-up word from this particular festival, we wanted to pass along to you that we got the call last night that "Mary" has indeed been chosen for the 52nd Rochester International Film Festival in New York. "Mary" will play on Saturday, April 24th at 4pm."
"One of just 30 films chosen from around the world, it has the amazing honor of playing at the George Eastman House Museum (as in "Eastman Kodak"), the national landmark mansion and international archive museum in Rochester. While we wish we could go to this one as well, we can't, so we thought we'd pass along the info on it should you happen to have friends or family who might want to attend. Film(s) chosen as a favorite by the audiences will tour the country as part of their BEST of the FEST collection."
"The Rochester International Film Festival, the world's oldest continuously-held short film festival, has been presented each year since 1959. Each festival includes a wide variety of narrative films, documentaries, and animations submitted by independent filmmakers from all parts of the world. RIFF screens animations, comedies, documentaries and narratives and evaluates filmmaking, acting, writing, cinematography and all technological aspects and cinematic qualities. Each film selected for the festival is awarded a Trophy, and then appreciative movie-wise audiences will view the work at the prestigious Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, the world's premiere museum of photography and film in Rochester, NY."
"Our entry might also be included in the permanent traveling collection, The Best of the Fest, which includes the most popular films from previous festivals based on audience surveys taken at each show. Thanks again to all of you for your work and support of this film."
