The Festival, which runs from September 6 through 10, receives submissions from all over the world with topics which cover all manner of human experience. The 65 films accepted for the Festival this year are, at times, ripped from the headlines of recent world events or they expose quirky habits of ordinary people or demonstrate the resiliency of the human spirit to overcome adversity.
The 2016 Festival includes a series of free intimate filmmaker chats, and special events, which allow the attendees a very special experience, which extends beyond the screenings of the films.
