Award give to Helen Hill

The Flaherty, the group that puts on the amazing Flaherty Seminar every summer, recently awarded their Samu Award to Helen Hill. There is a wonderful write up on the Orphans Film Symposium page, by Dan Streible, who accepted the award for the family. The award is given yearly for “a universal message illuminating our sense of world community.” I am anxiously awaiting Paul Gailunas's completion of Helen's last film, the Florestine Collection, which was inspired by a collection of dresses Helen found, left on street here.
