Friday Harbor Film Festival Welcomes New Board Members

Three islanders have joined the Board of the Festival’s sponsoring organization, the Pacific Islands Research Institute, to help further the success of the Friday Harbor Film Festival:

• Lazlo Pal is an accomplished director and producer of several films, as well as Professor of Film Study at the University of Washington. He is currently working with a group of students to create a three-minute video about energy conservation, an effort that is being funded by OPALCO.
• Tony Vivenzio is a local attorney, film aficionado and former student of Lazlo Pal.
• Robert Stavers is a photographer and web master extraordinaire, and an avid volunteer at San Juan Community Theatre.

Summer Film Screenings
Throughout the summer we will continue to screen great films at the Grange every other Tuesday evening at 7 pm. Because this is an important fundraiser for the Friday Harbor Film Festival, we would welcome your attendance. This is an opportunity to see a film that you missed in the 2013 Festival, or to see a new one that hasn’t been screened here before! A lively discussion usually follows the film screenings.

You can be a Festival Supporter!
Your financial support can help ensure the success of the 2014 Festival. Ticket sales account for only a small portion of our revenue; we depend heavily on grants, sponsorships and donations to cover our expenses. As an incentive for those thinking about making a donation, we are offering free Festival Passes to supporters who give at least $300. Please send your check (made out to the Friday Harbor Film Festival) to PO Box 2627, Friday Harbor 98250.

You can support the San Juan Update by doing business with our loyal advertisers, and by making a one-time contribution or a recurring donation.
