New films to inspire, empower this week

— from Orcas Island Film Festival —

“Military Wives” — Inspired by global phenomenon of military wives choirs, the story celebrates a band of misfit women who form a choir on a military base. As unexpected bonds of friendship flourish, music and laughter transform their lives, helping each other to overcome their fears for loved ones in combat and quickly find themselves at the center of a media sensation and global movement. A feel-good, crowd-pleaser inspired by true events. Rated PG-13 (language and sexual references)

“Life In Syncro” — If a single figure skater is a marvel, a team of figure skaters is practically a miracle. Welcome to the beautiful, cold, hard world of synchronized ice skating – the toughest sport you’ve never heard of. Today these skaters lift, leap, and spin together in ways the rink has never seen before, but this innovative sport is still somehow overlooked by mainstream media. This one is truly family-friendly !

** BONUS! Join us and audiences from 34 other film fests from around the country — for Film Festival Day: a celebration of what makes the film festival experience so unique. Watch a virtual screening of LIFE IN SYNCHRO, and then join a Filmmaker Q&A. (SEE INFO BELOW)
