ELLENSBURG FILM FESTIVALOCTOBER 2-4, 2009 in downtown Ellensburg, WA
The Ellensburg Film Festival is committed to the film education, exposure, and enrichment of our local community. The festival offers a wide spectrum of local and global cultural, artistic, and innovative diversity through educational programs, forums, and entertaining visual experiences. By offering viewers quality films, we can expand their knowledge of cinema and enhance their appreciation of the filmmaking process. For film professionals and the interested public it provides the opportunity to gain industry knowledge through interaction. In addition, the Ellensburg Film Festival provides a platform for students, colleagues, and members of the community to exhibit their work, experience networking opportunities, advance local economic activity, and promote a high standard of excellence.
Each year, the EFF films go on to win the most prestigious awards in the industry. Man on Wire, which screened at last year’s festival, won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. Our 2007/2008 titles were featured at over 200 festivals worldwide, including the Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, Berlin, and New York festivals. We were particularly honored when chosen to host the North American premiere of the 2007 Cannes winner in front of the sold-out EFF audience!
This year we have even more events in the works. Be sure to check out our Film Forum and Bar Noir events every last Saturday of the month. We are continually working hard to bring a wide range of entertainment and opportunities to you. |
