FLIFF2009 Short Film Festival
Sunday, December 20, 2009
When planning this year's festival, we received a bumper crop of short films...so much so we had no choice but to add an extra day of short films and holiday activities.
The entire day will be FREE for all FLIFF members and $5 for non-members. HOWEVER, we ask you to bring either two cans of food or one new unwrapped toy/person....or more.
From 1pm to 8pm, we will feature over 20 great short films, plus we will host a holiday party throughout the day with holiday treats, crudites and pastries.
