Fear No Film Festival @ Utah Arts Festival (Library Square, Salt Lake City: June 21-24)


Thursday, June 21 through Sunday, June 24
Main Library Auditorium
Free and Open to the Public

Salt Lake City, UT: The 10th annual Fear No Film Festival presents more than 60 short films from more than one dozen countries in a series of screenings intended to take audiences on a unique emotional tour in each screening. The theme “Tipping Points” ties all of the films together as each film explores the subtle moments that might eventually alter the beliefs, values, and boundaries that define us.
Along with the films from around the world, Fear No Film also hosts the 2012 Utah Short Film of the Year Competition. The audience votes for its favorite and the winner is announced at the end of the Festival, June 24.
In addition to the films for adult audiences in the Library Auditorium, the Festival now offers Fear No Film KIDS. Two different short film series (one for ages 3 and up, and another for ages 8 and up) will be screened hourly, outdoors in the Art Yard. Regular Festival admission applies for Fear No Film KIDS.
