Bell A heartfelt documentary tribute to the filmmaker's mother, a remarkable woman who maintained sanity and order in a household with fourteen rambunctious young ones. A sometimes sweet, sometimes painful exploration of the meaning of family. A refreshingly innocent film with a fine period flavor for all ages. Focusing on a free-living single mother and new commune member, this is a smart, spirited exploration of ideology and morality. Screenings at Bell Museum Auditorium, Oak Street Cinema, Heights Theatre, Lagoon Cinema,Walker Art Center, Galtier Cinema and the Historic State Theater.
Festival passes available.
