What People Are Saying About the Edmonton International Film Festival…

“Quite possibly THE most spectacular night of film I’ve ever seen.  Seriously – last night’s International Shorts will be the highlight of ‘08s for me.  Hats-off to whoever programmed the night (Kerrie Long).  Wow!”
Brad Stromberg, Mayor’s Office

“Congratulations on a great festival (lots of press, lots of good movies, I enjoyed Man On Wire).  Special thanks for letting Century Casino ‘blow minds’ by being a part of the ANVIL movie and, of course, concert.  We had 150 folks who really enjoyed themselves in our room, and that is a good thing!  Special thanks to Marcus and Karin for all their help, they really did a super job for Century Casino and the EIFF in my view.  We were proud to be a part of it, count us in for next year!
Dan Keene, Marketing Manager at Century Casino Edmonton

“I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience of this year's festival. I thoroughly enjoyed the screening, the Q&A, the dinner and the party. It was a very special moment for me being able to present the opening film to my family and friends. Thanks for inviting me. Give my best to all your wonderful staff”.
Carl Bessai (Canada) – Director ‘Normal’

"The Frame 30 Award for Best Alberta Short is a great honour, especially considering the Edmonton International Film Festival has, time and again, some of the best programming I've ever seen. They always amass so many great films each fall, and films that are a little off the beaten path, that are likely not going to be in the theatre three weeks after the festival ends. I admire the adventurous spirit that is apparent in their program. It's wonderfully inspiring to us filmmakers. And that's what Kerrie (Long) and Michael (Hamm) and everyone at the festival do so well in addition - they support the films and the filmmakers together - almost as if they were one entity. It is an incredibly encouraging and nurturing gathering of artists and audience. I always feel appreciated and welcome in Edmonton and I hope I'm able to screen a film there every fall."
Corey Lee (Canada) – Producer/Director ‘What You’re Ready For’
Winner: 2007 Frame 30 Award for Best Alberta Short
