The Greenwich International Film Festival, now in its second year, is presenting more than 30 films from Thursday through Sunday, June 9 to 12 at various venues in Greenwich and Stamford. The “GIFF” was founded, according to its website, “to bridge the worlds of film, finance, and philanthropy,” and also includes parties, panels and premiers. Here’s what’s playing on Thursday:
Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You
Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You is a recount of Mr. Lear’s compelling achievements in Television through his influential dialogue and political activism. Directors Heidi Ewing & Rachel Grady fashion this evocative documentary to prove that Norman continues to live as a vital pioneer among the idiosyncratic history of television. This portrait weaves together the past and present, and exposes Norman Lear’s thriving insight into faith, feminism, class, & culture.
