DOXA: Documentary Film Festival May 22, 2007

The sixth annual DOXA Documentary Film Festival, May 22nd to 27th, has expanded its repertoire to include more than 50 feature and short films from over a dozen countries, five world premieres, several award winners and a record fourteen directors in attendance.

DOXA continues to spotlight BC film by opening and closing the festival with local productions. Opening Night Gala film The Edge of Eden: Living with Grizzlies tells the visually breathtaking story of Canadian Charlie Russell as he raises orphaned bear cubs in the Russian wilderness. Russell and the co-directors will be in attendance for this Canadian premiere, May 22nd at the Empire Granville 7 Theatre. Directors Sharon Bartlett and Marie LeRose will attend the Closing Night presentation and world premiere of their film Beyond Memory, an intimate profile of BC families coping with a family member’s dementia.
