2009 Film Festival Pics

Because it looks like we can only upload the 60+ pictures of this year's festival individually on this blog (and that's just tedious), for now we hope you'll be satisfied with some alternate links. Check out all of the pictures on our MySpace and Facebook pages (just search for Sunscreen Film Festival), and if you're not already our friend, friend us! It's a great opportunity to catch a glimpse of all of the celebrities that attended this year's festival, and to find out more about our upcoming events (Film School Summer Camp, hint hint).

B-Side browsing tip

If you're browsing the films by title, you may notice that short films do not have a "buy tickets" button. To get a ticket for a short film, you need to buy the ticket for the whole block, which includes multiple films.

If you add the short to your schedule, the whole block will appear, which will then feature a "buy tickets" button!

Two weeks and counting!

There's just two weeks until our spectacular opening night, featuring PASSENGERS and a Q&A with star PATRICK WILSON.

Thursday, April 30 kicks off four full days of films, so be sure to peruse our schedule here on B-Side and make a calendar of the ones you plan to see.

For Thursday night, be sure to check out the drama I AM THE BLUEBIRD or the "rockumentary" ROCK AND A HARD PLACE.

Tickets for individual films are just $8, or you get yourself into any screening with a Festival Pass. To get yourself into EVERYTHING, including our Friday night party and Saturday night awards celebration, make sure to pick up a VIP Festival Pass!
