Greetings New Day Film-lovers!
PBS’s Independent Television Service (ITVS) is commemorating its 20th anniversary with a free online film festival featuring 20 compelling documentaries from July 25-September 23.
Two of them are New Day Films favorites: Johnny Symons’ “Daddy and Papa,” and Rick Goldsmith’s “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers.”
We like to point out that New Day Films distributes more than three dozen ITVS-funded films… and that ITVS came about because of the pioneering work of independent filmmakers and visionary programmers. We’re proud to be part of that legacy and thrilled that ITVS is sharing some of this great work with audiences this summer.
