Introduction

As each film selection is finalized, I will be posting a description of the topic, a synopsis of the film, and relevant links to find more information. The goal of this website is not only to keep everyone updated on the festival itself but to be a resource. As such, if you have questions or comments please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

Our goal is bring information to the members of the BYU community. And, through that knowledge we will be able to contribute and make a difference.

I look forward to the coming months and working with all of you to make this a great event.

Thanks.
