CULVER CITY TO HOST SPIRITUALLY-MINDED DAMAH FILM FESTIVAL
Culver City, CA –April 6, 2007 -- On May 4-6, 2007 the 6th Annual Damah Film Festival will return to Culver City and showcase some of the best in faith-based and spiritually inspired short films. This year the festival will be hosted on the grounds of Culver Studios, a popular film site used in the classic "Citizen Kane" (1941), "Gone With the Wind" (1939), and more recently the award winning TV show "Arrested Development". Widely known for its exterior façade of a grand colonial mansion and picturesque grounds, during this year's festival, the Culver Studios will be displaying artistic beauty within the famous walls as well.
Filmmakers from across the globe will be showing their projects to audiences in hopes that they will not only be appreciated for their technical talents but also for their ability to inspire and enlighten viewers.
"We're excited to be back in Culver City," noted Damah's Executive Director, John Bucher of the festival which began in 2001 in Seattle.
"We had such an amazing experience being in Culver City last year that we're back for more. Many of our filmmakers told us they loved the experience last year and we were listening."
"Damah", a Hebrew word meaning "a metaphor that transforms" or as "the merging of the known, the unknown and the transcendent," showcases the best in spiritual filmmaking in categories that range from 1-30 minutes. Filmmakers who enter their films in the Damah Festival are chosen by a panel of celebrity judges, based on technical and spiritual aspects portrayed in the film. This year's celebrity jurors include Return of the Jedi producer Howard Kazanjian, X-Men helmer Ralph Winter, one of Japan's top film producers Kanjiro Sakura, Director Scott Derrickson, ICM executive Christopher Lockhart and others.
In addition to regular film screenings, audience members who attend the festival can also expect panel discussions, workshops and interactive screenings to stimulate discussion and expression.
Encouraged by a successful transition from Seattle, Washington and the increasing popularity of spiritual and faith based films produced in Hollywood, the Damah Film Festival continues once again to provide a forum for spiritually minded filmmakers and audiences alike.
