2009 5Point Film Festival
Not your average film festival …
The 5Point Film Festival continues its unprecedented debut success with an event focused on promoting passion with a conscience and affecting social change. This spring, 5Point honors inspired adventurers who have turned their own individual desire into a determined mission to help others. Through film and thoughtful conversation, we will explore the passions behind this elemental shift away from oneself toward the greater human community and celebrate our common spirit. We hope you will share in our vision as we all gather in Carbondale – in one place, at one time – to promote passion with a conscience and affect social change. Read more about our vision at 5pointfilm.org.
