INSPIRING, ORIGINAL, & WORLDLY are three words that come to mind after attending the prestigious Nashville Film Festival that enlightened and enlivened our lives April 18 – 25, 2013 at the Regal Cinemas in Green Hills.
Sponsored by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and NISSAN and in coordination with the Duhok International Film Festival, NaFF was more than an unforgettable event, it was an exciting introduction and unity of cultures under one roof!
A great reward for attendance was the talk-backs post screenings and the one-on-one discussions with the independent filmmakers, composers, actors, producers, etc., in the lobby. The enthusiastic vibe that often exudes in an environment composed with a flourish of creative people encourages such correspondence so the experience of the screening goes beyond the film itself.
I’m HONORED to have met with the following Filmmakers:

I’m HONORED to have met with the following Filmmakers:
Paul Eenhoorn – Lead Actor of “This Is Martin Bonner”
Richmond Arquette – Lead Actor of “This Is Martin Bonner”
Drew Denny – Director, Writer, Actor of “The Most Fun I’ve Ever Had With My Pants On”
Another significant and unique addition that attributed to NaFF’s reputation this year was the Kurdish Film Celebration at the War Memorial Auditorium on Sunday April 21st! The successful turn-out was a perfect example of how the universal language of film breaks down barriers and unites cultures together.
I had the pleasure to meet Kurdish Actor Ari Rufino.
I had the opportunity to see the following films:
FEATURES: Rhino Season, This Is Martin Bonner, A Letter to Momo, The Most Fun I’ve Ever Had With My Pants On
DOCUMENTARIES: These Birds Walk, Musicwood (Music Film Category)
SHORTS: Reed and Woody (Music Film Category); .sub (from Spain), The Foreigner (from Greece), The Last Border (from Germany), Reza Hassani Goes to the Mall (from USA), Shanghai Strangers (from China), That Which Once Was (from USA) (Crossing Cultures Category)
I’m looking forward to collaborating with local Nashville Filmmakers and having the HONOR to have a film screening at NaFF in the future!
Congrats to the Filmmakers, Sponsors, and Staff on a SUCCESSFUL INTERNATIONAL CELEBRATION OF CINEMA!
