Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 2010 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival! Now in our seventh year, we have grown to become the largest film event in Montana, and are again pleased to present Missoula with the best in documentary film under the big sky.

The 10-day event is centered in downtown Missoula's historic Wilma Theatre, the 1100-seat venue that houses Montana's largest screen, and plays host to the visual immersion into a world where reality plays itself. With packed audiences of avid moviegoers, most films are accompanied by Q&A with their respective filmmakers. Special Events include nightly parties with great music, panel discussions, informal gatherings and the Big Sky in Schools Educational Outreach Program.

Since 2004, BSDFF has hosted hundreds of films and filmmakers, programmed exciting retrospectives and sidebars. Special guests of the festival have included Steve James, Les Blank, Hart & Dana Perry, Ron Mann, Joe Berlinger, Brendan Canty & Christoph Green and The Alloy Orchestra. Perinial events have included a Free Opening Night Film hosted by HBO, The Montana Film Office Kick-Off Party, Screenings of the Best of the Doc Challange and a Wild Game Roast.

We cordially invite you to the Wilma Theatre, February 12 - 21, 2010 as we showcase the best in compelling and artistic nonfiction film.
