“Precious”


The Asheville Film Festival has added a second showing of its closing film “Precious” on Sunday night, after tickets to the first screening sold out.

The powerful drama will now show at 10 p.m. Sunday at the Fine Arts Theatre on Biltmore Avenue. Tickets are $9 at the Pack Place box office.

“Precious,” which took top honors in January at the Sundance film festival, follows a Harlem teen who is raised in a world of incest and abuse. Last weekend, the film raked in $1.8 million while showing in just 18 theaters. It is set for national release on Nov. 20.
