The
Healdsburg International Short Film Festival kicks off Friday night September
21, 2012 at 7:00 PM with an exclusive screening for filmmakers, sponsors and limited seating for the general public,
at the Raven Film Center located at 415 Centre Street in Healdsburg, Ca.
This
exciting event will welcome the festival’s numerous filmmakers, many of who are
traveling great distances and a few from our own backyard. The evening’s
program will also acknowledge and thank the festival's prominent local sponsors,
who have helped bring life to this celebration of film. The public in
attendance will be treated to a showcase of shorts that represent the tone of
films to be shown in the body of the festival.

For
those seeking a night on the town, Healdsburg’s ultra -chic “h2hotel” is offering up the “Spoonbar” as the setting for filmmakers
and the public to mingle. There will be a 45-minute film screening at 10:00
PM and ticket holders of this event will also receive a free drink. This is a
great opportunity to hang out with filmmakers and festival attendees after a
long day of experiencing the magic of independent film!
