Fifth Annual Film Festival photos

Film festival audience enjoys music by Ian Tamblyn at Saturday night's gala dinner following the screening of Griefwalker. The film was incredibly moving and beautifully filmed by Tim Wilson.

Mel Shulist in a tuxedo!!! Kathy, just behind him is also elegantly dressed in black and white. Kathy writes a column in the local newspaper and did a lovely story on the festival.

Friday night's premiere screening of "Backwoods Gourmet" brought out a huge crowd dressed in Hallowe'en attire for the party at the Wilno tavern afterwards. Star and creator of the cooking show, Lee Lafont is shown at far left and his compatriot in filmic madness, Barry Goldie in the foreground at right. Subject of the episode, Tim Storey wasn't here...probably at home baking his trademark focaccia.

Paul and Fran dressed to the nines for the screening, dinner and party. People around here know how to have fun!!!
