“We’re thrilled to open the festival with The Gold Bracelet,” said Tom Carruthers, founder of the Connecticut Film Festival. “The caliber of independent films we’re showing during the week sets the bar for this brand- new, statewide festival. We’re looking forward to our debut, and getting feedback from attendees to make next year’s bigger and better.”

 

More than 70 independent feature films, short films, student films and documentaries will screen at various venues in Bethel, New Haven, New Milford, Litchfield, Norwalk, Westport, Waterbury and Stamford. In addition, the festival features workshops, panels and parties. Fake Tiffany jewelry

 

The festival’s Artistic Director, Jean Tait, tiffany cufflinkscufflinks this week that the slate of films includes the world premiere of Holes in My Shoes, a 90-minute feature documentary about Connecticut resident Jack Beers.

 

Beers is almost 100 years old, and the film takes viewers back to his poverty-stricken Lower East Side boyhood as “New York City’s Strongest Boy” performing to packed audiences, to the present time where he’s now riding a stationary bike 3 miles per day, driving, pruning trees, performing feats of strength, and more.

 

“Holes in My Shoes is a magical film by David Wachs, and audiences will absolutely fall in love with its subject,” said Tait. “The fact that he’s almost 100 is an accomplishment in itself, yet the way he has done it is so colorful and amazing — from his strongman days, to working as an ironworker who erected the famous Radio City Music Hall marquee, to specifically helping to shorten World War II at the Manhattan Project, to erecting the famous Empire State Building spire.”
