STAY INDIE SPOTLIGHT - THE ARK

Back for its second year is LESFF’s Stay Indie Project, launched in collaboration with BFD Productions, a development lab that supports films through resources, financing, and hands-on production support to help bring bold independent stories to the screen. The first Stay Indie project to hit the festival circuit was , which had a special screening at LESFF last year. This year, the program adds a Stay Indie Spotlight screening again with the New York City Premiereof The Ark.

The Ark, drops us into eastern Ukraine at the start of the 2022 invasion, where a family’s quiet rural life is upended overnight. What begins with a single request to care for a soldier’s goats turns into something much bigger, as abandoned animals start arriving from every direction. Cows, dogs, cats, ducks, even and alligator - all finding refuge at Green Grove Farm. The film is Executive Produced and Narrated by Kyra Sedgwick.
