Big Eddy documentaries announced

NARROWSBURG, NY — The fourth annual Big Eddy Film Festival, which will take place from Friday, September 18 to Sunday, September 20, will showcase several new documentaries exploring those who make art and those who make art happen. Many filmmakers will be in attendance for talkbacks following their films at the festival.

Among the film showings will be the Catskills premiere of a new documentary on the last surviving Jewish resort in Monticello, “Welcome to Kutsher’s.” Among the other titles will be “Peggy Guggenheim—Art Addict,” delving into the bohemian life and storied loves of the black sheep of the Guggenheim family, the notorious art collector Peggy Guggenheim; “J. Morgan Puett: The Art of Be(e)ing,” about the founder of the ground-breaking artists’ haven Mildred’s Lane in Beach Lake, PA; and “Almost There,” a coming-of-(old)-age story about 83-year-old Peter Anton, an “outsider” artist living in isolated and crippling conditions whose world changes when two filmmakers discover his work and storied past.

Produced by Delaware Valley Arts Alliance of Narrowsburg, NY (DVAA), the Big Eddy Film Festival aims to advance the traditional art of storytelling by showing the newest and best independent films from around the world and our own backyard. Visit www.BigEddyFilmFest.com.
