DESCRIPTION:SONG FOR HOPE is a story about living life to the fullest\, abo
	ut the unwavering strength and support of family and friends and about one
	 man’s refusal to allow his affliction to affect his love of his art. Part
	 of the Dallas International Film Festival (DIFF)\, this deeply touching f
	ilm spotlights the life and legacy of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s very
	 own Ryan Anthony. The film\, directed by Chris Haigh\, portrays the incre
	dible story of trumpet virtuoso\, Ryan Anthony\, after being diagnosed wit
	h multiple myeloma at the age of 42 and given just months to live. For man
	y\, this would be a crushing blow\, but for Ryan\, it motivated him to sta
	rt a charity called CancerBlows and show the world that music can save liv
	es. The documentary illustrates Ryan’s rise from child prodigy to musical 
	superstardom\, from cancer clinics\, chemotherapy\, and stem cell transpla
	nts to sell-out concerts in symphony halls. Despite overwhelming odds and 
	intense medical treatments\, his positivity\, determination\, and passion 
	for performing continually drove him to the concert stage. Following the s
	creening\, there will be a Q&amp\;A moderated by James Faust of DIFF featu
	ring the filmmakers and Niki\, Jackson and Rowan Anthony. The 16th Dallas 
	International Film Festival will take place Oct. 14 through 20 at Alamo Dr
	afthouse Cinema Cedars. For information about passes and sponsorships\, pl
