Filmmaker's Film
to Premier at Film Arts Festival
"Love is blind and lovers cannot see the pretty
follies that (they) themselves commit; for if they could,

Cinema as part of the 21st annual Film Arts Festival. The
film explores differences between love - the particular instances
thereof - and Love - as a concept.
