This year's WFVF brings two notable productions to our screen, as well as a number of shorter pieces by area film-makers. Saturday Nov 1 at 4 pm we are privileged to have the NFB documentary "Griefwalker" featuring Killaloe area resident Stephen Jenkinson "the Angel of Death" who bears a message that most people don't want to hear. Jenkinson who is a Harvard-trained theologian argues that death is what allows us to live and that we have a" debt of grief that we need to carry in order to be firmly in our own lives"
Jenkinson and his wife Nathalie, will be present for the screening and for a reception following the film. Many of us have met the couple who lived in a strawbale house near Tramore. See their website http://www.orphanwisdom.org/.
The Griefwalker screening and reception sponsored by Wilno Heritage Beer and Black Prince Winery will be followed by a multi course "100 Mile Harvest Dinner". Following dinner, Canadian song-writer Ian Tamblyn performs in an intimate concert in the cafe. Tickets are limited to 40 seats and are $35.oo per person which includes the film screening, reception, dinner and music. Reserve now at 613-756-9515.
