A Day Of Film for BIFF Volunteers (time change)

Posted – Jan 25, 2012

(Note: Time Change: 9 am – 4 pm)
On Saturday, January 28
 we will be hosting a day of film for our volunteers at La Casa Grande from 9 am – 9 pm. We will be running ‘tastes’ of some of the films to be shown at BIFF. The ‘tastes’ are longer than a trailer, but short of showing the entire film. It’s a tease of what’s in store for festival attendees, as well as a way for volunteers to select volunteer slots that include a film they will enjoy seeing.
