In Focus + On Location: The Puppetman

Oct 7 @ 1PM – 2PM: live @ The Buffalo History Museum + live streamed to social + website

This panel focuses on The Puppetman, BIFF's Late Night Spotlight Film – and explores character and place (real and imagined) in story and cinema. Panelists will discuss the film, shooting on location in our multinational region, their creative practices and processes, and more.

Based on your nightmares and shot on location throughout Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Lockport, and surrounding lands (including The Water Authority, Buffalo State University campus, Buffalo FilmWorks, Woodlawn Diner, and more!), this horror film is a wild ride throughout our region! It features state-of-the-art special effects that merge studio and WNY locations into new macabre worlds.

Moderators: Rachael Homewood, Senior Advisor at Foreign Affairs & Diplomatic Service, Consulate General of Canada in NY + Anna Scime, Executive Director at Buffalo Int'l Film Festival
