This is the sixth annual film festival to honor Fairmont native and former movie star, John Forrest “Fuzzy” Knight.

Playing this year in Fuzzy’s honor is The Shepherd of the Hills! This classic film, produced in 1941 in brilliant Technicolor, has its setting in the Ozark mountains of southern Missouri and is the tale of a mountain family ripped asunder by a family curse. The all-star cast includes John Wayne, Betty Field, Harry Carey, Beulah Bondi, Marjorie Main and Ward Bond.

The West Virginia Mountaineer will also be there!
