Putting old films in conversation with new; expanding our sense of regional cinema
Revival
Film festivals are rare opportunities to put older, under-seen work in conversation with new films, like songs in a playlist. The Revival program at FILM FEST KNOX is intended to expand our understanding of American regional cinema by screening recent restorations and rediscoveries.
