Why low-budget film matters
We believe film is one of the most powerful forms of connecting to our world. Magic carpet rides to dimensions of experience which mirror, record and inform society about ourselves and others. We find that the most moving film experiences, the greatest laughs, tears and life touching scenes occur when filmmakers are able to create free of commercial censor.
Why BendFilm matters
While box office numbers for the classic “mega plex” type film experiences continue a twenty year decline, a revolution toward small budget films where risks are afforded is beginning to change the tide for filmmakers and audiences alike. Film Festivals along with the introduction of affordable filmmaking equipment have catalyzed this bourgeoning sea change. BendFilm has proven to be a key champion of independent film by providing support through education, recognition, respect and reward for film enthusiasts ages 5 and up.
The annual BendFilm Festival has drawn over 10,000 attendees to connect with international films and filmmakers in an environment that honors the essential craft of filmmaking. All are invited to share the magic of this marathon of screenings, panel discussions, performances and spirited parties. Each year, BendFilm introduces new educational programs to nurture the art of filmmaking for future generations.
BendFilm is a non-profit 501. c3 organization. We need your support to continue.
