Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, the Panamanian International Film Festival will endeavor to build on the success of 2017’s PanaFest event, which included films, industry panels, arts exhibits and musical performances, by increasing its paid staff, augmenting audience development efforts and educational initiatives while focusing greater resources on fundraising and industry alliances. Greater funding will expand potential benefits offered to participants such as awards and travel.
