Please join us at the Belmont Gallery of Art for a special screening of the rarely shown 2001 documentary film “The Fairy Faith,” an accompaniment to the current exhibition of fantasy world paintings of Richard Hill and fused glass sculptures of Sue Hill Simms.

A fairy is a tiny being with wings that looks like a person but possesses powers of magic and enchantment. According to legend, fairies can change the weather, alter aspects of nature and bestow magical gifts such as intelligence and plenty. They can also lure humans to their islands where all is happiness and no one ages or gets sick however, once brought to these mystical places, there is no escape. Join filmmaker John Walker on a quirky and compelling journey through Ireland, England, Scotland and Cape Breton in search of the child's imagination in a rational world. This unique look into the realm of fantasy traces the popular fascination with fairies and is vividly brought to life with gorgeous cinematography and an enchanting soundtrack.
