21-Nov-08Vincent: A Life In Color, a 95-minute documentary on Marina City resident Vincent Falk, had its world premier November 14 at the Cucalorus Film Festival. The film was screened at the Lumina Theater, a 360-seat theater in Wilmington, North Carolina.

“The premiere was pretty great,” says Burns. “The audience laughed, cheered, stood and applauded at the end. Vincent had a great time. He became the unofficial mascot of the festival.”

The 59-year-old computer programmer for Cook County is better known throughout downtown Chicago as the man who dresses in brightly colored suits and dances on bridges for the amusement of tourists. The film follows Falk through a tour boat season on the Chicago River.
