Finding Bright Film Festival - Yo (Love is a Rebellious Bird) post-screening discussion

13FOREST Gallery is pleased to invite you to a special reception hosted in partnership with the Finding Bright Film Festival. Following the screening of Yo (Love is a Rebellious Bird) on Saturday, November 7 at 12 pm at the Capitol Theater, 13FOREST Gallery will host an interactive event featuring Yo’s filmmakers Anna Fitch and Banker White joined in conversation by local puppeteer Sarah Nolen.

Starting at 1:45 pm, the public is invited to visit the gallery across the street from the theater at 167A Massachusetts Avenue to discuss their views of Yo, and the host of topics it raises about life, memory and creativity. The creative team behind the film will share their insights into everything from puppetry and its symbolic and expressive powers, to the lives of people in Yo and how the movie's artistry evolved. In addition to a special appearance by Robin Frohardt’s puppet of Yo herself, a sample rod puppet by Ron Binion will also be at the event, so attendees can try their hands at bringing a three-person puppet to life.
