Less than a year after the Sundance Film Festival’s final curtain call in Park City, a new film festival arrives this fall to focus on local filmmakers.
Park City native and Emmy-nominated filmmaker JJ Gerber will headline the event at the Park City Library with his documentary “The Life We Leave.”
The film follows a Washington man who builds the first large-scale terramation, or human composting facility, and his role in reshaping how humanity grieves.
Gerber’s documentary is one of nine feature films screening at the Jim Santy Auditorium Oct. 23-25.
