Art Is Alive Film Festival 2018 (0)

영화제 시작: 16 8월 2018      영화제 끝: 19 8월 2018

My intent with this festival is simple: bring art alive again. This will be an event that emphasizes less on celebrity appearances, red carpets and expensive sponsors. It will be a forum for filmmakers and fans to meet and merge minds. It will be a foundation of fun while showcasing artistic souls and their work. It will be a weekend to honor the czars of independent cinema, and to initiate my platform of helping others to pursue their passions. I am also hoping to be able to raise enough funds to be able to award grants to those who wish to embark on their dream of one day donning the director hat.

My festival will have 2-3 industry panels a day, as well as live music each evening. One celebrity event each night of the festival, as well as two blocks of shorts each day along with feature films. I am hoping to show 100-120 films for the entire duration of the festival.
