American Altars
(Dana Fadel — New Gloucester, ME)

Show Description: Food box ephemera, pictures, and other offerings to the magnet gods.

NOTE: American Altars was first seen as part of PortFringe’s Fringe on Film festival in 2021, where it received the Critics Choice Award. Critics called this short film: “An eclectically beautiful snip of fresh air and a reminder of human connection,” and “A tender portrait of the palpable ephemera that we choose to live with.” If you missed it in 2021 — or if you loved it then — catch this 5-year anniversary re-screening.
