Closing Night
THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE in 70mm
Sunday, December 21, 4:00 p.m.
Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Mona Fastvold (co-writer of THE BRUTALIST) crafts a sweeping colonial-era musical about visionary Shaker leader Ann Lee (played by the formidable Amanda Seyfried). Spanning three decades and shot in 70mm on location in Hungary, the film reimagines a chapter of American religious history through lyrical visuals and choreography, Shaker hymns and a haunting score by Oscar® winner Daniel Blumberg.
