The mini-tour starts with a European Premiere at the 63^rd Edinburgh International Film Festival (June 16-27)--one of the world’s oldest and most respected international film festivals. PvG then heads to the Los Angeles Film Festival for its West Coast Premiere with an event screening at the Ford Amphitheatre on June 23^rd, followed by two screenings at the AFI’s flagship Silver Theater during SILVERDOCS (June 21-27) in Washington DC (East Coast Premiere). Dale Pollock (George Lucas’s biographer, author of SKYWALKING) will be the special guest in attendance for the second screening, and will participate in a Q&A with Alexandre. PvG is also one of six documentaries at SILVERDOCS nominated for the WGA Documentary Screenplay Award this year. The film will then return to Europe for its German premiere at the Munich Film Festival (June 25-July 3)—Germany’s largest film festival next to Berlin.

 

“These four festivals are a dream line-up for our film,” says Director Alexandre O. Philippe, who will attend all screenings with his producing team, “and I couldn’t think of a stronger combination of world class events for this series of premieres. It’s also a great privilege to have Dale Pollock joining us on stage at SILVERDOCS to share his vast knowledge about George Lucas with the audience.”
