Full lineup for 13th edition of McMinnville Short Film Festival (MSFF) released
McMinnville, Oregon (Release): The lineup for the 13th edition of the McMinnville Short Film Festival has been announced. Over 100 short films from filmmakers all over the world will be screened February 23-25. All films will showcase at the McMinnville Cinema followed by a filmmaker Q&A.
This year the MSFF will feature events for pass holders and industry networking opportunities for visiting filmmakers in addition to screening its official selections. The awards for this year's short films will be chosen by industry judges including actress and author Ione Skye ('River's Edge', 'Say Anything'); executive producer and actor Peter Billingsley ('A Christmas Story', 'Iron Man'); and director and producer Kyle Marvin ('80 For Brady', 'The Climb').
Held annually each February in McMinnville, Oregon, the internationally recognized MSFF focuses on a range of narrative topics, including Native American, Drama, Comedy, Horror, Experimental, Animation, Environmental, and Documentary films. In addition to supporting their visiting filmmakers, they also promote and raise visibility for their local Willamette Valley- and Pacific Northwest-based filmmakers and strive to increase the collaborative dialogue between creative peers.
