More Than Movies
————————————
The 2024 Phoenix Film Festival offers more than just film screenings. This year, we have curated a series of special events featuring incredibly talented individuals that all showcase their expertise and insight on what it means to be a creative. From pulling narrative principals often seen in film into video games, to stand up comedy and theatrical performances, the art form of movies translates into many different areas and serves to elevate multiple other artistic practices.
