FILM LOVERS ONLY –
Oct. 2023 – After each film, the filmmaker will perform a question-and-answer session or a clinician will do a mini-interactive process group with audience members. There will be engagement with the audience to welcome their comments, reviews, feelings and observations. These discussions will offer information on addiction as experienced by communities and families.
The REEL Recovery Film Festival & Symposium, in its 15th year, is scheduled for Friday, October 27, Saturday, October 28 and Sunday, October 29 at the Laemmle NoHo Cinema in North Hollywood from 5 until 11 p.m.
Opening night will feature two local filmmakers, Aimee Graham and Cal Barnes, with “The Allnighter” and “The Astrid Experience.” On Saturday, the festival will highlight “Bay St. Healer,” wherein a well-known psychiatrist decries overprescribing psychiatric medication. The festival will conclude on Sunday with “Our American Family,” often compared to the iconic PBS series “An American Family.”
