The Inaugural Providence Art and Design Film Festival

Cable Car Cinema brings a new film fest to its screen this fall

Posted

To mark the inauguration of the Providence Center for Media Culture, which was started by Cable Car Cinema owners Daniel Kamil and Emily Steffian through the Rhode Island Innovation Fellowship they received in April, the Providence Art and Design Film Festival will run from October 29 to November 1. The opening night will offer a screening of Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict at the RISD Museum. Director Lisa Immordino Vreeland will be in attendance for the screening, and RISD Museum director John Smith will moderate a Q&A with her following the film.

The rest of the films will be screened at Cable Car Cinema, most of them with similar panel discussions afterwards. “The Providence Art and Design Film Festival is a four-day curated film series focused on the diverse disciplines within art and design,” explains Emily. “The mission of the festival is to showcase artists, designers, craftspeople, collectors, curators and makers of all kinds from around the world to engage, educate and reflect on the influence art and design have on community, history, politics, personal expression and our contemporary landscape.”
