7TH ANNUAL FRIDAY HARBOR
FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS
IN OCTOBER The exciting
seventh annual Friday
Harbor Film Festival, to be
held Oct. 25-27, 2019 on San
Juan Island, will screen 31
new documentary films, 23
short films, and a selection
of films produced by student

ING Night Filmmakers Gala, during
which the Andrew V. McLaglen Lifetime
Achievement Award will be awarded
to Paul G. Allen for his extraordinary
achievements in documentary film-
making through his company, Vulcan
Productions. The informal Filmmakers
Forum will be held Saturday morning.
The Festival closes on Sunday night

honoring the best films. The Local Hero
Award will be presented to Joe Gaydos,
founder of the SeaDoc Society. The
László Pal Emerging Filmmaker Award

filmmaker, whose winning film be
screened.
Each year the Festival invites dedi-
cated, talented filmmakers to showcase
their documentary films’ unique ability
to entertain, inspire, and enlighten au-
diences while encouraging students to
learn the art storytelling through film.
It takes a small village to produce the
Festival, which depends on the dedica-
tion of a group of extremely committed
friends and neighbors who devote their
time and energy to the event. They
believe in the importance of convey-
ing important and meaningful stories
through film, as well as discussions with
the filmmakers themselves.
The Festival is offering an Early Bird
Festival Pass that provides priority seat-
ing, access to all venues and screenings,
and one ticket to the opening night Gala
for $175. Save $25 by purchasing it at
FHFF.org. where full details about this
year’s Festival are posted. ELLEN ROBERTS
