More about the film: Broken Hearts & Butterflies - Born out of wedlock in the early 1960s to a mother and father who met on a peace march, concert photographer and artist Hali McGrath had to face parental abandonment at the age of 14. After time spent on the commune Tolstoy Farm in rural Washington state, Hali eventually found safe haven with the Williams family. By helping to take care of their three children, Hali experienced unconditional love for the first time from the youngest child, Kimberley Rose. Broken Hearts & Butterflies is a poignant story that documents how decades later Hali, Kimberley, and the other members of the Williams family reunite to revisit their common past and explore the depth of impact each have had on the others' lives.
This film screening also marks the beginning of an art exhibit at BloomBars featuring the artwork of Ingeborg H. O’Bourne, the filmmaker’s mother. The art exhibition, titled “Only in my Dreams,” will include 13 framed paintings, mainly oils or acrylic on canvas. O’Bourne is a writer, painter and dream analyst, who emigrated from Austria. Her artwork has been described as whimsical and dream-like, and it is based on her interpretations of dreams and her desire to “convey the beauty of life and earth through art.” The exhibit will run from Friday, June 21st, through the first week of July.
BloomScreen Indie Film Night – is a weekly series of independent and foreign films, accompanied by discussions with filmmakers and other experts.
