7th Annual<br />
<strong>Prescott</strong> <strong>Film</strong> <strong>Festival</strong><br />
July 17-24, <strong>2016</strong><br />
“…supporting independent and critically acclaimed films and filmmakers….”<br />
We are celebrating our 7th annual festival this year and are THRILLED with the lineup<br />
of fantastic films and workshops! Each year we have grown and changed a bit, all the<br />
while keeping our mission at the forefront of what we do. We continue to present<br />
amazing “movies that move you” and “entertain, inspire and inform.”<br />
Our films are unique, fun, fascinating, inspiring and many bring us a true sense of<br />
gratitude for living in (or having a chance to visit) the Central Arizona Highlands we call<br />
home.<br />
This year, thanks to the Yavapai College <strong>Film</strong> and Media Arts Program, an impressive<br />
slate of workshops will be held during PFF. These are fantastic offerings for new and<br />
experienced filmmakers, movie geeks and lovers of the art form! This is a chance to<br />
meet professionals in the industry, hear about their experiences and perhaps, through<br />
these workshops, take craft and/or enjoyment and appreciation of film to the next level.<br />
There will be a representative from RED Cinema camera giving a demo, a professional<br />
animation editor, an award winning sound designer and editor, a film preservationist, a<br />
film financer, (yeah; a “money guy!”) two screenwriting workshops and several successful<br />
indie filmmakers. These will all be “don’t miss” FREE workshops!<br />
This year’s fest kicks off with a special “<strong>Film</strong> Noir and Pinot Noir” wine tasting. The<br />
noir film is The Lady from Shanghai starring Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth. Our special<br />
guest? Beatrice Welles, daughter of Orson Welles. We will have a special screening on<br />
the National Day of the Cowboy, July 23rd. Additionally we will have quirky unique films,<br />
and a fantastic slate of shorts for your enjoyment!<br />
The <strong>Prescott</strong> <strong>Film</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> would not be possible without the help of our generous<br />
sponsors, grantors and volunteers. Please thank a volunteer when you have a chance.<br />
And take note of the sponsors and grantors in this program guide and on the “big<br />
screen” in our theatres. When you see them or frequent their businesses, please tell<br />
them you appreciate their support of the <strong>Prescott</strong> <strong>Film</strong> <strong>Festival</strong>.<br />
Have a wonderful festival experience and thank YOU for your support!<br />
