| Dear Filmmakers and Festival Supporters:
We are all aware that organizations and businesses around the world have been dramatically impacted by the Covid-19 virus and may continue throughout the foreseeable future.
However, we wish to inform you that although the event is postponed, the 15th annual Sunscreen Film Festival is NOT cancelled, we are postponing until a later date to be determined. Again, we wish to reiterate that the 15th annual Sunscreen Film Festival is not cancelled. New dates later this year will be announced in the coming months, so, please standby.
We wish to extend a heartfelt thanks to our staff, especially to Mr. Chris Eaton, Sunscreen’s Programming Director, for his tireless efforts in programming this year’s festival, We also wish to thank our volunteers, board members, sponsors, the local community and the filmmakers for their continued support. Thousands of hours have gone into preparing for this year’s festival, and our decision to postpone is not an easy one.
Over the weeks and months to come, we shall endeavor to commemorate Sunscreen’s 15th year, “celebrating the creativity of independent filmmaking” by exhibiting an amazing array of narrative feature films, documentaries, short and experimental films, workshops and events!
From our family to yours, thank you for your continued support. Stay healthy and safe! We hope to see you later this fall! |
