This Elvis Week, Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts presents the theatrical world premiere of The Faithful,  filmmaker Annie Berman’s 20-year exploration of fandom, memorabilia, memory, and legacy within the orbits of three of the biggest cultural icons of our time: Pope John Paul II, Elvis Presley, and Diana, Princess of Wales.  PLUS: Annie Berman will be in attendance for Q&A following the film!

Doors at 6:30 pm | Show at 7 pm

Tickets: $10 (or $8 with Indie Memphis member credits)

A Pope John Paul II lollipop. An Elvis Presley shower curtain. A Princess Diana teacup. These are just some of the countless pieces of memorabilia that these pop culture icons’ most devoted fans collect and cherish… but why? The Faithful’s director, Annie Berman, explores the deep veneration and legacies of the Pope, the Princess, and the King. Over the course of 20 years, Berman profiles these figures’ biggest fans and makes numerous pilgrimages to Vatican City, Graceland, and Kensington Palace. As the years go by, the film itself becomes increasingly entwined with Berman’s daily life and identity, much like how these officially licensed knick-knacks define the fans she filmed.

Due to Covid-19 safety precautions, we are limiting theater capacity and implementing social distancing seating. Upon purchasing your tickets, you will be required to choose your seat in advance. Please be prepared to wear your mask at all times during the event.
