prfilmfestThe Paso Digital Film Festival, planned for Nov. 20 through 25 The theme of this year’s festival is Music and Film, and the State and Fate of Children and Youth! So, with that said we are celebrating the two art forms and how they blend. From soundtrack composers, films about music, musicians, original songs, and all that goes along with the necessary blending of music and the art of film. Therefore, it is our goal to provide you with amazing music; from big name performers in large concert settings, to a wide range of local talentin cozy candlelit settings. The other theme will pay tribute to the film makers that produce films to shock and educate us on the state and fate of childen and youth, with films on Austism, runaway, homeless and missing children, child abuse, sexual molestation and child pornography. We plan to have some of the top people in the US running programs to help the children living in the tragic conditions shown in the films. THE FILM FESTIVAL WILL BE STREAMED ONLINE AND VIA MOBIL SCREENS.
