F

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
