Filmmakers from around the globe will converge to showcase their work at the historic Redstone Theater in downtown Kanab. The films, curated by a discerning judging panel, will be presented over three days, featuring short films and compelling features, from dramatic fictions to heartwarming documentaries. Breaks between screenings will offer opportunities for Masterclasses from industry professionals; already confirmed is Alyssa Holbrook, a special effects makeup artist coming in from California, and outdoor activities to give guests a flavor of the area.
The food fest enhances the festival experience for attendees, offering catered meals from local eateries, alongside an array of candies and beverages at no additional charge!
