To Charleston and the 8th Annual Charleston International Film Festival!
Dear Friends, Fans, Filmmakers
and Screenwriters,
This is the place where the art and magic of film
come together to teach us, inspire us, and connect
us all to one another. We can’t wait to celebrate
with you over the next five days.
As we plan the Festival each year, we’re continually overwhelmed by the quality and abundance of
film and screenplay submissions. Even as the challenge of making selections intensifies, we’re confident that we’ve chosen the most striking, impactful, thought-provoking, powerful, and emotional
films from some of the brightest and most talented
amateur, emerging, and veteran filmmakers and
screenwriters in the business.
As always, the Festival experience is more than simply enjoying an incredible selection
of films. From the Opening Night kick-off, Q&A sessions after each screening block and
nightly socials, to free educational workshops and our beautiful Awards Gala, the next five
days are an opportunity to share our passion for and love of film—as filmmakers, actors,
screenwriters, and fans.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the ongoing support of our sponsors
and the Charleston community. We cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are to
Charliewood Pictures as well as our awesome 2015 sponsors, board of directors, task force,
screening committee, partners, volunteers, supporters, and you - our attendees! Thank
you all for being a part of the Festival this year.
Cheers to five days filled with magic, mayhem, shock, surprise, wonder, wisdom, and most
of all…drama!

therefore I am,” to present an introspective dimension within our own understanding.
