The 2008 Local Sightings Film Festival has ended!

Our panel of jurors watched all the films in competition at this year’s Local Sightings Film Festival and have picked one feature and one short film to win the 2008 prizes.

Congratulations to Grant Aaker and Josh Wallaert, directors of Arid Lands, winners of our $4000 feature film prize. Arid Lands will also get a full week’s run at Northwest Film Forum.

And congratulations to Portland’s Kristian McKay, director of Orbita del Verano, winner of our $1700 short film prize

This year our jurors also decided to award a Special Jury Mention to Web Crowell’s animated short film Parasol.
