INDIANAPOLIS — “Everlasting Light: The Story of Indiana’s Bicentennial Torch Relay” has been selected for screening at the 2017 Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis. Hoosiers can relive the memorable moments of the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay with a documentary produced by the Department of Telecommunications at Ball State University, which was commissioned by the Indiana Office of Tourism Development (IOTD).
The relay was developed by IOTD as one of the major commemorative events of the 2016 Bicentennial celebration. The torch traveled through 260 cities and towns across all 92 Indiana counties. The torch was carried a total of 3,226 miles by 2,242 torchbearers. The torch relay culminated at the Indiana Statehouse, where the Hoosier Homecoming celebration was held. An art sculpture titled Lux Aeterna located on Bicentennial Plaza now holds the everlasting light.
The film will screen three times during the festival:
• Tues., Oct. 17 at 7:45 p.m. at AMC Castleton Square 14 (Castleton)
• Thurs., Oct. 19 at noon at AMC Castleton Square 14 (Castleton)
