Special to the Rappahannock News
The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community is pleased to announce a film festival at the Theatre at Washington Friday, September 23 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, September 2410-noon. American Film Institute professor and author Patti Bellantoni will travel from Los Angeles to present the two-day festival, showing how the choice of color in film can influence audience mood, reaction, and interpretation of a film’s plot. Lively and entertaining Bellantoni will illustrate her talk with vivid examples from films, and encourage group dialogue throughout the festival.
Friday, September 23 at 8 p.m., the 2004 critically acclaimed drama “Dear Frankie” will be shown, followed by a talk and group discussion led by Bellantoni.
Saturday, September 24, Bellantoni will continue her talk and discussion from 10 until noon, and over lunch (starting at noon) with box lunches provided by Sunnyside Market.
Bellantoni’s recently published book, “If It’s Purple, Someone’s Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling,” guides filmmakers in making the right color selections for their films, and helps movie buffs understand why they feel the way they do while watching movies that incorporate certain colors. Copies of Bellantoni’s book will be available for purchase throughout the two-day film festival.
Conversations with the author’s colleagues, including two-time Oscar winning Production Designer Henry Bumstead (Tb Kill A Mockingbird, The Sting, Unforgiven, Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby) reveal how color is often used to communicate what is not said. Says Bumstead about Bellantoni’s book, “A wonderful idea and very impressive! Patti’s book shows the importance cf color in developing both character and story.”
