RIIFF 2015 Special Screening of “Vanishing Sails

From 7:30PM to 9:30PM

The 19th Annual FLICKERS: Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) returns to its home port of Newport, RI for a special US Premiere of a powerful documentary screening on Wednesday, August 5th. “VANISHING SAIL,” directed by Alexis Andrews will screen at the Jane Pickens Theatre, 49 Touro Street, Newport, RI. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.film-festival.org or at the door of the theatre. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the screening begins promptly at 7:30 p.m. The film is set in the Grenadines, a small group of islands in the Lesser Antilles where the traditions of boatbuilding were once crucial to the survival of local communities skimming a living from the sea. Hundreds of sailing vessels were once launched here, more than anywhere in the West Indies. Today there is no more commercial trade by sail, and these skills have vanished elsewhere in the region. Alwyn Enoe is one of the last boatbuilders practicing a trade passed down the generations from the original Scottish settlers that arrived in the 19th century. He is approaching his 70s and with no more orders coming in, he decides to build one last sailing sloop with the hope that his sons will continue the trade.
