LDS Film Festival deadline extended

Organizers of the LDS Film Festival have extended the deadline for film and screenplay entries for the 2004 event, which runs Jan. 22-24 in Provo. Those entries are now due Dec. 22.

Now in its third year, the festival spotlights films that demonstrate "intelligence, spirituality, originality, integrity and technical excellence," said festival director Christian Vuissa. The event's competition programs feature short films by LDS artists or films with LDS-specific material.

Prizes totaling $2,000 will be given to three films and screenplays judged as the festival's best. Also, the festival is still looking for volunteers to help out with next year's event.
