About the Film
Sirena's Gallery follows a Salvadoran-American woman’s struggle as an art gallery owner who recently lost her husband to suicide. Sirena must quickly adapt to self-isolation, grief-induced visions, and the virtual world of e-commerce during the COVID-19 pandemic. The film, which was written/directed by Christine Sloan Stoddard, who also stars in it, is currently making the festival circuit. The first public screening of Sirena's Gallery took place at the Byrd Theatre in Richmond on Aug. 27th, 2021, with a screening at Stuart Cinema in Brooklyn, NY on May 14, 2022. The next public screening will take place at Cinema Village in New York City on Sept. 23, 2022. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.
The film was produced by Quail Bell Press & Productions with support from 1708 Gallery and VCU ICA in Richmond, VA. Funding has been made possible by the Puffin Foundation.
