First Festival Screening – Sunday, April 26 @ 8:45pm

“There have always been eccentrics among us; it’s finally time to illuminate and celebrate them. Perhaps, in doing so, we’ll shed some light on our own neglected passions and potential.”

– John Zaritsky

Synopsis:

An eclectic globe-trotting adventure, A Different Drummer: Celebrating Eccentrics, introduces us to several living and historical eccentric characters who flaunt their extraordinariness through their innovation, curiosity and non-conformity. Directed by Academy Award winning director John Zaritsky, the film explores the findings of Dr. David Weeks, a Scotland-based psychotherapist who claims that eccentrics live longer and are happier and healthier that those of us who cling to conformity.
