About The Edwood FilmFest, The People's Film Festival
The 11th Edwood FilmFest is the New York Capital Region's best-known
hands-on independent short film festival.  With innovative shows dating back
to its early years designing one of the world's first 72-hour film
festivals, to last year's introduction of the locally-assembled
Hollywood-produced Microsodes, movie fans and film buffs travel from all
about the Hudson Valley, the Berkshires and Southern Vermont to come to
Albany to view the latest inventions by local and international short film
producers.

Since its inception, the festival has grown steadily, graduating from back
rooms at local taverns, to sold-out shows at WAMC's Linda Norris Theatre, to
2007's wildly successful festival week of galas, award shows and
world-premiere movies at the Spectrum8 Theatre, renown as one of the
nation's foremost independently-owned theaters showcasing independent
national and international films.

Committed to bringing amateur and professional together to experience all of
the creative levels of filmmaking, and with the enthusiastic support from
local and national business, the Edwood FilmFest promises to demonstrate yet
again in 2008 that the blooming short film movement is delivering a
landslide of creative community return!
