A Decade of Wonder
Age 8+
PCFF is proud to be celebrating our tenth anniversary by looking into our past. So many wonderful types of films from so many places have been invited throughout the years. We put together a reel that is a little like a walk down memory lane. Unless you have attended all nine previous festivals there WILL be something new to see! Here are some hints to what’s on this reel. It includes: a janitor that takes a crash course in learning basketball; two films inspired by They Might Be Giants songs; and an Oscar winning story about a bear who breaks out of a cruel circus act.
