The 12th annual Gary International Black Film Festival is coming to Indiana University Northwest this October. The festival features selections from nine countries and three continents.
The late Ann Gregory, who lived in Gary and was the first Black woman to play in a U.S. Golf Association championship, will be honored with an Opening Night Red Carpet exhibit and a screening of “Playing Through” on Oct. 7 during the Gary International Black Film Festival.
“There’s some incredible storytelling,” said Toering, who graduated from Emerson High School in Gary and attended Purdue University in West Lafayette. Among the likely conversation starters at the festival is “Playing Through,” which was directed by Balbinka Korzeniowska, written by Curtis Jordan, and stars newcomer and golfer Andia Winslow as the late Ann Gregory, who was the first Black woman to play in a U.S. Golf Association championship.
The fest partners with Urban League Young Professionals of Northwest Indiana for a tribute to Gregory via an Opening Night Red Carpet exhibit and a screening of “Playing Through,” which won Vienna Independent Film Festival awards including Grand Prix, best feature film and best director.In addition to that special event at 6 p.m. Oct 7 at Savannah Hall, that venue hosts The Reel Rundown at 1 p.m. Oct.
