This year's Festival is led by Pat Miller, Chair of the Alexandria Commission for the Arts. "Last year's Festival attracted 158 film submissions from 14 countries," said Miller.  "This year, we will be involving a larger panel of judges to include previous attendees, film enthusiasts, filmmakers and film and video professionals.  Not only will this provide us with critical input, it will broaden our support base."
