On Friday, HIFF was back in full swing, kicking things off early with a community run celebrating the film REMAINING NATIVE (thanks to Gubbins Running Ahead!), followed by our annual Festival Brunch at Nick & Toni’s. A full day of screenings—including our first day back at Guild Hall—featured the World Premiere of ARTHUR ELGORT: MODELS & MUSES (with many special guests), and was capped off by a festive party at The Maidstone, celebrating Eva Victor‘s UBS Breakthrough Director Award for their stellar debut film SORRY, BABY.
