In celebration of 10 years of movie-making in our wonderful town, we are bringing amazing, award-winning films to our town for a film festival extravaganza. We have talented and seasoned filmmakers in our midst, along with aspiring film makers, and this year’s festival will be featuring the work of some of our own. The range of films reveals remarkably diverse topics, people and places. Check out the films and be prepared to invite friends and family to join in the fun. Following each film, the audience will be invited to stroll over to Elmer’s Store for a chance to schmooze with the film makers and enjoy all that Elmer’s offers for the crowd.
