"A Not So Still Life: The Ginny Ruffner Story" Meet Special Guest: Artist Ginny Ruffner at the QA following the film

This film peers into the kaleidoscopic mind of Ginny Ruffner, an artist as beloved for her magnanimous spirit as for her evolving "visual thought experiments." The film explores the full span of Ginny's fascinating journey, from her childhood in South Carolina to her emergence as a world-renowned artist. Witness Ginny's determination to recover from the accident that nearly claimed her life, but barely even slowed her constant re-invention of the world around her. Director Karen Stanton, USA, Documentary, 82 minutes +QA
6:30-7:00 PM: Live jazz with Robert Karch & Sharon Demeyer

Co-presented by FOCUS Film Festival and Friends of the Arts
