Circus Dreams Debuts in Boston

« back to All Blogs

When the ten-day Boston International Film Festival opens this Friday, April 15, it will feature Art New England’s own Signe Taylor, screening her documentary Circus Dreams. Taylor’s eighty-two-minute film will hit the screen Monday, April 18, at 3:30 p.m. at the AMC Theater, 175 Tremont Street. Tickets to this, as well as others events, can be obtained from the Boston International Film Festival.

Art New England met independent filmmaker Signe Taylor through our editorial series “Frame to Fame.” We kicked off the series, last fall, with a film screening at FP3, where Taylor showed her trailer. (She was still editing the actual film.) The crowd responded enthusiastically, wanting to see more. Now they can.

Circus Dreams documents the trials and tribulations of Circus Smirkus, a twenty-three-year-old big top, consisting of twelve- to eighteen-year-old performers. Taylor immerses the audience in three converging worlds: teenagers, the circus, and an ailing performance company doing its best to stay afloat. Circus Dreams has charmed its way into a number of prestigious venues, including Sarasota Film Festival and SPROKETS Toronto International Film Festival for Children. It will premiere June 3-5 at the White River Independent Film series in White River Junction, Vermont.

Let us always dream keep alive the magic eyes with which we were born to laugh for within that grace we can dare to create art which is memorable which ask questions both lightly and for fun AND asks questions to difficult dualities and double standards which surround us
