As in previous years VTIFF 2011 will screen:

WANTED: ACTORS!

The 2011Vermont International Film Festival will add something new to its usual line-up of film screenings and events this year: a 24-hour student filmmaking competition. Called “Sleepless in Burlington,” the competition will showcase the efforts of teams of student filmmakers from four area colleges and universities: the University of Vermont, Middlebury College, St. Michael’s College, and Burlington College.

WEEKEND CONCERT TO RAISE FUNDS—AND SPIRITS—IN HONOR OF VERMONT FLOOD VICTIMS WHO: Shyla Nelson, Vermont-based international soprano and founder of the Good Earth Singers, along with several well-known Vermont artists, will hold a public concert to raise money to help benefit Vermonters affected by Tropical Storm Irene. Governor Peter Shumlin will kick-off the concert to recognize what our State has endured these past several days and to honor those lives lost in this tragedy. He will join with Vermont musicians to celebrate our state’s resolve and commitment to helping our neighbors and communities rebuild.

There is going to be a benefit concert to raise money for Vermont's flood victims of tropical storm Irene this Saturday, September 10th, in front of the state house from 1 to 3 PM. The Film Commission is looking for short montage segments showing the damage of the flooding and Vermont's communities coming together to assist in recovery efforts. If you have any video or photos to contribute to a montage please forward the material to vermontfilm@vermontfilm.com. The goal is to show these videos/images at the benefit concert. Please contact Joe.Bookchin@state.vt.us with questions.

The Vermont Filmmakers' Showcase call for entries is officially open!  If you're a filmmaker in Vermont and if you've made a film in the last year, we want to see it!  Visit our website for more details and to download the entry form .

The Blood in this Town chronicles Rutland's drive to revitalize itself during America's deep economic crisis, using the town's remarkable Gift-of-Life blood drive to explore how an ailing rust-belt town can rebuild from the grassroots up. Rutland’s act of giving blood in record-breaking numbers becomes a powerful symbol of renewal and social change that radiates throughout the community - in initiatives to engage new ideas and create sustainable businesses, world-class natural recreation, farm-to-table networks, entrepreneurial start-ups, and the revival of a historic downtown.

A film by Art Jones, Great Jones Productions.

SCREENING: April 26, 2011: Rutland Free Library, 7 pm.
Steve Costello of CVPS and Jim Sabataso of Sustainable Rutland will answer questions after the film.

Ask Us Who We Are is a documentary film focused on the challenges and extraordinary lives of youth in foster care. The film is a reflection on loss and the search for belonging and finding family. Although the film highlights the heartbreak that many foster care youth carry with them as they move through their lives, the documentary also reveals the tremendous strength and perseverance that grows out of their determination to survive and thrive.

Produced & Directed by Bess O'Brien.
