This year’s special guest will be film director Agnieszka Wójtowicz-Vosloo. She will discuss the After.Life presentation. The story line is of a horrific car accident victim, Anna (Christina Ricci) who wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Anna doesn’t believe she’s dead, despite the funeral director’s reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. She will be present after the viewing for questions and discussion.
