important component of this festival is directed toward the development of film
making skills for youth, amateur and professional film makers.
The
inaugural year of the Peace River Film Festival was a huge success with hundreds
of people in attendance including Michael Uslan, the Executive Producer of the
Batman movies. A documentary on the 2011
festival is accessible on our web site at
peaceriverfilmfestival.org. This is where you can obtain event tickets
and sign-up to submit a film to the festival.
