7pm, approx. 2 hours
With The Tour by Jenina MacGillivray and Terranova Matadora by Rhonda Buckley.
Back by popular demand from the St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival, Strange & Familiar: Architecture on Fogo Island is a documentary exploring the journey that social entrepreneur Zita Cobb and Gander-born architect Todd Saunders took to realize a dream. Audacious Zita has dedicated her time and money to the creation of not only a spectacular inn on the point, but also a hugely fruitful social experiment. She engaged the entire community of Fogo, encouraging them to contribute centuries worth of local knowledge to the project. If you have already visited the Inn you will admire this beautiful chronicle of its creation. If you haven’t visited yet then this doc will take you there—for only the price of your admission ticket.
