“STEP is an inspiring documentary of the senior year of a girls’ high-school step dance team in inner-city Baltimore. The evening screening will be followed with a short step performance by The Lethal Ladies of BLYSW (pronounced bliss.)”

It won the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Inspirational Filmmaking at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, the Audience Award for Best Feature at the 2017 Sundance American Film Institute Doc’s Festival and the NAACP Image Award.

MEDIA RELEASE: February 3, 2010 For Immediate Release CCAC Contact: Sandy Oxx (sandy@CarrollCountyArtsCouncil.org) 410/848-7272 FLICC Contact: Frank Baylor (baylorcad@comcast.net) 410/876-6201

All aboard for a mini-trip to the countryside of Italy without the hassles of airport security! Film Lovers in Carroll County (FLICC) has chosen the lavishly romantic film “Enchanted April” to be screened at the Carroll Arts Center on Friday, April 2 at 8 pm.

Since this Academy Award winning film is such a favorite with the ladies, it was scheduled to coincide with the annual Purse Auction sponsored by Seniors Keep in Touch (SKIT) that is also held at the Carroll Arts Center.

Set during post World War I, this gorgeously filmed story follows four women who rent a chateau on a remote Italian island to try to come to grips with their lives and relationships.

They explore the differences in their personalities, reassess their goals, and reexamine their relationships in a sisterly fashion. Together they find romance, hope and ultimately liberation during their month-long holiday.

It is described as a sumptuous “mini-trip” through the breathtaking countryside of Italy.

The 1992 film runs 95 minutes and is rated PG.

It stars Joan Plowright and Miranda Richardson.

Audience members are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy a glass of wine and shop at the Purse Auction.

Tickets are $6 for adults/$5 for Arts Council members, seniors 60+ and students 18 & Under.

The Carroll Arts Center is located at 91 West Main Street in downtown Westminster.

For more information or to purchase tickets with a credit card, go to
www.CarrollCountyArtsCouncil.org or call 410/848-7272.
