CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL!

Sometime next week (fingers crossed) we will have most of the films for the 2009 lineup listed on this very website! Keep checking back! I promise! Until then, the best I can do is leak this snapshot taken at one of our many, rather intense (but always fun!) programming sessions. In it, programming committee member Dan Boldman celebrates our short film collections with his best Vanna White impression.

*All titles, of course, are subject to change and this image in no way represents the film festival’s actual program. It’s just for fun.
