Five local screenings planned for 'Looking for Angelina'

SHADOWS OF THE MIND NEWS RELEASE

Looking for Angelina to be featured at the Shadows Film Festival

Sault Ste. Marie, ON – The movie Looking for Angelina that was filmed in Sault Ste. Marie during the summer of 2004 will be featured as part of the Shadows of the Mind film festival.

Looking for Angelina is the true story of Angelina Napolitano, an Italian woman sentenced to death in 1911 for murdering her husband with an axe, as he lay asleep on Easter Sunday.

Angelina is a young immigrant woman caught in a life she does not want and is the unlikely heroine at the focal point of a worldwide media frenzy.

Looking for Angelina is the eye-opening true story of one woman’s struggle and an ever more relevant source of fascination in the media-obsessed society we live in today.

Due to the anticipated high demand to view the locally filmed movie, five showings have been scheduled.

They are February 23 at 8 p.m., February 24 at 2 p.m., February 25 at 1:30 p.m., February 26 at 7 p.m. and February 27 at 9 p.m.

All films are at Galaxy Cinemas.

Tickets go on sale Tuesday February 8, 2005.

Please call 256-2226 or 759-0458 for more information.

Another highlight of the sixth annual film festival is the first annual Algoma International Film Video Competition.

This year’s festival is being proudly presented by Scotiabank.

The film festival runs from February 23–27.

Individual movies are $8 or a full pass is $90.

Tickets are available at the door but seating is limited.

For advance tickets, please call 256-2226 or visit www.shadowsfilmfest.com for accurate dates and times.
