2009 Anchorage International Film Festival

The 2009 Anchorage International Film Festival takes place from December 4-17 this year at Bear Tooth (1230 W 27th Avenue), 4th Avenue Marketplace (333 W 4th Avenue), Anchorage Museum (121 W 7th Avenue) and Out North (3800 DeBarr Road) around Anchorage.  Independent films will be showcased at this festival.  The great outdoors seems to be a huge focus of the films this year, with movies like "Mount St. Elias", a film about three climbers that ski their way down Alaska's second tallest mountain.  "Mount St. Elias" is only one of seven Alaska films that center on Alaska's great outdoors.  The opening night film will be "Hipsters".  The screening starts at 7pm, with the gala party to follow at 9:30pm).  Tickets are now on sale at the Bear Tooth (1230 W 27th Avenue).  An All Films Pass ($75) will allow entry to all screenings except for the opening night film.  If you want to include the opening night film, gala parties and workshops, you can purchase an All Films & Events Pass for $95.  For more info about tickets, please call 907-276-4200.

For a rundown of the movies, times and venues, please visit the Anchorage International Film Festival website.  I hope you are able to get out to the 2009 Anchorage International Film Festival during the next couple of weeks.  It's a great event that shines a nice spotlight on Anchorage.
