"The Promethean," a short film that retells a Greek myth, was the big winner at last week's LDS Film Festival in Provo. Kohl Glass' 13-minute drama took first place in the three-day event's short-film competition, winning the event's Lightbox Award, as well as a $1,000 cash prize.

T.C. Christensen was honored twice in the same category — taking second place in the juried competition, as well as winning an Audience Choice Award — for "A Pioneer Miracle."

Taking third place in the competition was Calvin Cory, from "Rulon's Game." Also receiving Audience Choice Awards were Dave Skousen for "Rain," and Chris Coy for "Remembering Vinnytya."

In the festival's 24-Hour Filmmaking Competition, Alisa Anglesey and her crew took first place with "Time After Time: A Clown's Request." In that competition, filmmaking teams have one day to write, shoot and edit a short film. Taking second place and an Audience Choice Award in the 24-Hour competition were Andy Nicholson and his team for "Jumpstart." Third place went to Dave Bisson's group for "The Making of a Tyger Poster."

Two highly anticipated LDS-themed features were also shown: "The Best Two Years" (which opens locally Feb. 20) and "Saints & Soldiers" (which has no firm opening date).

Films were screened in the Provo City Library, as well as some special screenings at the University Mall Cinemas in Orem.
