More than 300 films were considered and, noticeably, the films portrayed: the brighter side of life; inspiring personalities working sometimes against all odds; and a good fare of zany, humorous, and romantic stories. But all the events—screenings, photography exhibit, live music, parties, and filmmaker discussions—selected for this year’s festival are definitely innovative and captivating stories told in creative and spirited ways!
