UPDATED, May 8: The Arlington International Film Festival (AIFF) has awarded the 2021 poster design with an allusion to peace (at right) to Elena Mathis, student of Mass College of Art in Boston. An accompanying $500 aims to assist a student in advancing art studies.
Mathis s design creates a strong connection with the viewer while the bird taking center stage, making direct eye contact and spreading his feathers announce the festival
. The bird carries an olive branch in its talons,
an ambassador of peace.
