The Evening of the Film Festival
Dress in your favorite formal gown or suit and join us at the Edmonds Center for the Arts for an elegant evening at the Third Annual Film Festival. The Festival will begin at 6pm, but be sure to join us on the red carpet at 5:30pm to mingle with hundreds of others from our community, have your photo taken, peruse the promotion tables in the foyer from local businesses and non-profits, and of course, find a good seat!
The evening will be spent enjoying several short films written, filmed, directed, and produced by local film makers and students. Awards will be presented to the directors of the highest scoring film in each category.
We are excited to have you join us for this evening of film, celebrating the arts, and fighting the injustice of sex trafficking.
Vision
The Edmonds Film Festival seeks to bring together the students, businesses, churches, non-profit organizations, individuals and families of Edmonds to create, enjoy, and promote the arts. The vision is that the Film Festival would have an impact on each individual in the community whether it is through creating and presenting an original film, networking and promoting a local business through sponsorships, supporting the cause of our benefiting organization, or simply attending the event with friends and family to enjoy the art of film.
Mission
The Edmonds Film Festival supports and encourages the sense of community in the city of Edmonds, contributes to and promotes the arts, and shares original stories and inspiring messages through the art of film.
History
The Third Edmonds Film Festival began as a small friends and family event. The College20s Film Festival was founded by the college ministry of Westgate Chapel in May 2011 with 4 films and an audience of 200 people at Westgate Chapel. Over the last two years the vision and the scale of the Film Festival has grown tremendously. Last year, in 2012, there were more films, more sponsors, growing interest and excitement, and almost 400 in attendance!
In 2013 the College20s Film Festival was renamed The Edmonds Film Festival because of the desire to be more involved in the community. The Third Edmonds Film Festival will have more film submissions, more sponsors, and more community involvement than ever before. It is expected to fill the Edmonds Center for the Arts (a 700 seat theater) and raise a minimum of $5,000 for Abolition International.
