About Me
- Name: Paul Festa
- Location: San Francisco, CA, United States
Paul Festa's award-winning film Apparition of the Eternal Church - hailed by the Chicago Sun-Times as "perhaps the finest film ever made on how people experience music, and one of the best-crafted and moving documentaries in a very long time" - has screened at venues including Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, London's Barbican Centre, and the Library of Congress. He is the author of OH MY GOD: Messiaen in the Ear of the Unbeliever, based on the film. His essays appear in three Best Sex Writing editions, in Nerve: The First Ten Years, and online (The Daily Beast, Salon). He gave the US, Boston, NYC, SF, LA and, in the Coolidge Auditorium on the "Betts" Stradivarius, DC premieres of Messiaen's Fantaisie. Stage credits include Kunst-Stoff, Stephen Pelton Dance Theater, North Bay Shakespeare Co. and, this 1/23 – 2/14, the TheaterFIRST production of Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at Oakland's Fox Theater. Residencies include MacDowell Colony, City of Paris / Centre des Récollets, and ODC Theater. He lives with his husband James and their dog Ziggy in San Francisco, where he was born and raised, and where he is writing a novel.
