2010 CHESAPEAKE FILM FESTIVAL - The Chesapeake Film Festival returns to Talbot County. The Chesapeake Film Festival's principal organizers are independent filmmaker Doug Sadler and Marie U'Ren representing community volunteers. An Advisory Board and volunteer committee members many of whom have substantial film and media expertise, support them. The festival committee presents a series of film events throughout the year preceding the September festival. Some will be stand-alone; others will be presented in collaboration with local organizations, such as First Night Talbot.
It is the mission of the Chesapeake Film Festival to entertain, enrich and inspire by bringing the finest in narrative, documentary and short film to the Chesapeake Bay community. The films we intend to showcase are broadly focused to illuminate both the diversity and the universality of the human condition.
We believe films can affect positive change and through this medium individuals and communities gain a greater understanding of themselves and the world. We envision a festival that stimulates, educates and empowers.
