THE BLUE NOVEMBER MICROFILMFEST RETURNS FOR YEAR SEVEN

The Blue November MicroFilmFest moves forward with financial backing of the City of Seattle!

SEATTLE – The Seventh Annual Blue November MicroFilmFest is a totally free film and arts festival that supports the artist first and foremost, with a dedication to vision and artistic integrity in cinema, music and the arts. Designed for the true filmmaker and the art of film, this festival focuses on the people behind the creation. It is free to those who attend, and it is always free for the artists.

The Opening Night Gala will begin at the Green Bean Coffeehouse (210 N 85th St). It is here that they will unveil the film shot live at last year’s Festival, The Marriage of Luna and Sol. In addition to a performance from Essence Dance Company and a collection of work from Reel Grrls (www.reelgrrls.org), the sounds of local music will welcome the official beginning of their seventh year. Official festivities will begin at the Upper Crust on Friday, November 13th.

FILM – the centerpiece of any film festival is the gift and art of the visual artist. They have received films from all over the World and from all walks of life offering a multitude of viewpoints. They have chosen the best of these, the most diverse and the most passionate, with selections from the local community. They are continuing the annual awards competition and Filmmaker Q&A, and they are adding their first workshops to inspire and inform Seattle’s next filmmakers.

As a Festival they may be small, but they are focused. The Blue November MicroFilmFest offers a unique experience not to be found elsewhere in the City of Seattle. They keep taking steps forward to insure a positive road for the future of film and art, and those who will create it.
