 The
11th Edwood FilmFest is the New York Capital
Region's best-known hands-on independent short film
festival. With innovative shows dating back to its early
years designing one of the world's first 72-hour film
festivals, to last year's introduction of the locally-assembled,
Hollywood-produced Microsodes, movie fans and film buffs
travel from all around the Hudson Valley, the Berkshires,
and Southern Vermont to come to Albany to view the latest
inventions by local and international short film producers.
Since its inception, the festival has grown steadily,
graduating from back rooms at local taverns, to sold-out
shows at WAMC's Linda Norris Auditorium, to 2007's wildly
successful festival week of galas, award shows and world-premiere
movies at the Spectrum.This year's Edwood FilmFest '08
readies for its primary season with the following campaign
promises:
- The Rights of every man, woman and child to participate
in 72-Hour Weekend Film Contests in May and June.
- No child, woman, or man left behind in securing a
Film Education through our Film Camp in April, May,
and June.
- To canvas for independent voices to be heard through
our Microsode Script Contest.
