N1  - Title from title frames; Film; In Process Record; Joan of Arc, Charles Fihoil; Originally produced by Carnivalesque Films in 2009
N2  - Winner of the Ripping Reality Award at the Hot Docs Film Festival, this Southern tale transcends literal interpretations of images in order to open up rich, loamy textures of humor and drama.. Working within the tradition of creative non-fiction, Invisible Girlfriend follows Charles as he rides his big red bicycle 400 miles through rural Louisiana to find his invisible girlfriend, Joan of Arc, in a New Orleans bar. Along the way, he encounters a farmer, a witch, a tin man, and a man who honors the dead.. With cinematography startling in its intensity and violent beauty, Invisible Girlfriend captures the odd characters and unique characteristics of what might be called the Southern Gothic world.. Winner of the Ripping Reality Award: Hot Docs Film Festival, Ron Tibbett Award for Excellence in Film: Magnolia Film Festival. “INVISIBLE GIRLFRIEND is a textbook example of what can result when savvy documentarians fortuitously connect (or, in this case, reconnect) with an interesting subject at precisely the right moment.... Final scenes are genuinely heart wrenching.” - Joe Leydon, Variety. “A surprising and profoundly compassionate road trip about an America struggling to get back on its feet, with filmmakers Ashley Sabin and David Redmon working at the intersection of Flannery O'Connor Avenue and Werner Herzog Boulevard.” - Ty Burr, The Boston Globe
