armington Hills-based
nonprofit organization
KickstART Farmington
announces the film lineup and
schedule for the 2022 Greater
Farmington Film Festival.
The Greater Farmington Film
Festival takes place Oct. 6-9, at
the Riviera Cinema, Farmington
Community Library and the
Zekelman Holocaust Center,
with a selection of recently
released feature films and docu-
mentaries that engage the heart
and mind, explore important
contemporary issues and inspire
action — good films for a better
world.
The 2022 Greater Farmington
Film Festival is supported by the
Farmington Brewing Company,
Bill Brown Ford, Thornton &
Grooms, Cutters Studios, Wright
Beamer, David and Abigail
Viane, and the family of Sandy
and Tommye Feit, in loving
memory.
On Sunday, Oct. 9, the ani-
mated drama Charlotte will
be shown at 12:30 p.m. at the
Zekelman Holocaust Center
Charlotte is an animated
drama that tells the true story
of Charlotte Salomon (Keira
Knightley), a young German-
Jewish painter who comes of
age in Berlin on the eve of the
Second World War. Fiercely
imaginative and deeply gifted,
she dreams of becoming an
artist. Her first love applauds
her talent, which emboldens her
resolve. But the world around
her is changing quickly and
dangerously, limiting her options
and derailing her dream.
When antisemitic policies
inspire violent mobs, she leaves
Berlin for the safety of the South
of France. There she begins to
paint again and finds new love.
But her work is interrupted, this
time by a family tragedy that
reveals an even darker secret.
Believing that only the extraor-
dinary will save her, she embarks
on the monumental adventure of
painting her life story.
Among the other films in
the festival are documentaries
The Art of Making It, Finding
Happiness in Troubled Times,
Who We Are, A Chronicle of
Racism in America and Mama
Bears, the Best of the 2022 New
York International’s Children’s
Film Festivals, and the animated
documentary Flee. Read about
