Vail Film Festival will continue its collaboration with (RED), an international initiative founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver to raise awareness and money for The Global Fund, an innovative public-private partnership created to finance a dramatic turnaround in the fight against AIDS. (RED) and the Vail Film Festival will premiere the RED Vision Short Film Showcase at the 2008 Vail Film Festival, a screening of the winning films from the RED Vision Short Film Contest. As it did last year, the Festival will contribute 25% of the sale of each Festival Avanti Pass to the Global Fund.
"2008 marks our fifth year, and we're very proud of how far the Festival's come in such a short period of time," said Scott Cross, co-founder and co-director of the Vail Film Festival. "We are especially proud of the reputation the Festival has developed among filmmakers as a great place to screen and premiere their work. The submissions we receive are the best in independent film, allowing us to have an exceptionally strong film program. This year, we'll screen more films than ever before, with even more filmmakers in attendance to support their work. We are honored to have an incredible group of sponsors that believe in the power of film and whose contributions enhance every aspect of the Festival. Their support has enabled us to continue to grow and to create several new and exciting programs for the fifth year."
