CASCADIA is excited to announce the honored guest for our 2019 festival: Oscar-winning director Freida Lee Mock! Mock is perhaps best known for her film “Anita” about Anita Hill, and her upcoming documentary “RUTH: Justice Bader Ginsburg In Her Own Words.”
She is being recognized for her career, her contributions to the film industry and her dedication to promoting women in film on Friday, April 12 and will be celebrated with a reception, “conversation” and a film at the historic Mount Baker Theatre in Bellingham.
Mock is a Governor of the Documentary Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science and is former Chair of its Documentary Executive Committee.
In addition, she played a significant role in retaining the documentary film category in the Academy Awards.
The event will be catered by Krewe Catering and moderated by Tom White, editor of Documentary magazine, the print and online publication of the IDA. He also oversees the editorial content on documentary.org and has written for several other publications, including The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Cinemontage, IndieWire, The Independent Film & Video Monthly and Release Print.
CASCADIA will host a special screening of Mock’s film and moderated discussion with the director at 6 p.m. Friday, April 12 at Mount Baker Theatre-Bellingham. Tickets can be purchased on Mount Baker Theatre’s website: https://bit.ly/2u8B2UE
