VAXXED Screening and Salon at Silver Springs Film Festival
Ocala, Florida – The controversial film that is making headlines by being pulled from film festivals in the US amid pressure from government agencies and corporate sponsors has successfully landed at the Silver Springs International Film Festival in Ocala Florida. The screening is on Sunday, April 10 at 7:00 & 9:15pm EST at the historic Marion Theatre.
Preceding the screenings, a panel discussion, “Media That Matters: The Importance of Independent Journalism in the 21st Century”, will be held at the Brick City Center for the Arts in Ocala from 1:00 to 2:00pm on Sunday April 10. The salon will discuss the points made by the film along with other concerns being raised by the efforts to stop the movie from being seen. Most recently demonstrated, when it was pulled from the Houston Film Festival (see link).
“In the United States, the fourth branch of government is Journalism. If we lose our voice and become beholden to corporate advertisers, we are in serious jeopardy as a democracy.” –Del Bigtree, Producer, VAXXED.
“What we saw in California last year on political and journalistic landscapes was a frightening indicator that our free press was in jeopardy” – Lori Martin Gregory, Publisher, Editor, TheMomStreetJournal.com
“It makes me sad to see how we have lost our perspective when it comes to access to information and art…Our society’s current disrespect for other points of view is so destructive. I don’t care what side you are on…Suppression helps no-one. We are screening this film. It is a well-made film and we honor the work of Independent Filmmakers.” – Greg Thompson, Director, Silver Springs International Film Festival
The five panelists will include: Del Bigtree (Producer, VAXXED; Emmy Award-Winning Producer of The Doctors), Kelly Gallagher (Filmmaker, Co-Producer, VAXXED), Buddy Martin (Emmy Award-Winning Producer NFL Today on CBS; Radio Host The Voice of Ocala), Greg Thompson (Director, Silver Springs International Film Festival), and Lori Martin Gregory (Publisher, Editor, TheMomStreetJournal.com).
The panel discussion will be live streamed at periscope/themomstreetjournal.
