Bozeman Film Celebration Awards

BZN Film Festival A Stunning Success!

 

“As a film-lover, it was heartening to attend BZN— I’m encouraged to see such high regard for intelligent filmmaking. ~ Ted Turner

 

 

 

Our Opening Night film was James Redford's Happening: A Clean Energy Revolution. The evening was mutually rewarding:

“It was an honor to participate in the inaugural launch of BZN Film Festival. The films, the panels, the gatherings—all were a passionate extension of Bozeman, one of the most cherished cultural hubs of the Rockies."  ~ James Redford

 

 

 

Here's A Recap of Some Stellar Moments from the Awards Ceremony

 

 

 

 

 

Chicks with Sticks had BZN on their Bucket List

Everyone was up & dancing right off the bat!

Although French Writer/Director/Producer Michael Barocas could not attend to accept the Award for his Experimental Short, Deux Mains (Two Hands), there was not a dry eye in the audience when we showed it at the Ceremony.

What a testament to the power of film!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Writer/Director Amanda Kernell wasn't able to travel from Sweden to accept the award for

Best Narrative Feature, Sámi Blood.

But, one of our intrepid volunteers accepted the challenge to bring the Award to Sweden!

In Perpetual Motion was off someplace exotic filming her next adventure...
