The Philosopher Kings among most popular films @ Silverdocs!
The Philosopher Kings was among the most talked about films at this year's Silverdocs Film Festival resulting in a sold out world premiere, which took place on June 18, and another sold out encore screening in AFI Silver's 430-seat theatre, which took place on Sunday, June 21. The Philosopher Kings was so popular among festival-goers that it was one of seven films, from the 122 screened at the festival, chosen for the “Back by Popular Demand” screenings on Monday, June 22.
“Considering Silverdocs is the biggest documentary festival in the U.S. and the caliber of the films at the festival – some of them by Oscar nominated directors – we couldn’t be happier,” explains Director Patrick Shen. “To see the audience react so enthusiastically and to connect so strongly with the characters to the point that it left some in tears, is such a satisfying thing to experience for a filmmaker.”
