The Ballard Film Festival (BFF)
will be Saturday, June 15 at 7 p.m. in the Ballard High School
auditorium. This is a screening of new work by students in the Ballard
High School Digital Filmmaking Program. The festival will feature short documentaries,
client-based ads and PSA’s, as well as a selection of award-winning productions
from this school year. Tickets ($10 for adults and $5 for students) will
be sold at the door.
Films that premiere at the BFF frequently go on to win honors from various film festivals and professional organizations. This semester alone, BHS film students earned top prizes at two international film festivals (the STARdance Film Festival in Los Angeles, and the Discover the World of Communications Film Festival in Washington D.C.), 18 nominations from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (envelopes to be opened at the NW Emmy Awards), 18 awards and honors from the NW High School Film Festival, and Best Student Film from the state-wide Shoreline Short Short Film Festival. (Films screened at previous BFF’s can now be seen on the Digital Filmmaking Program’s vimeo site.)
