“As a film-lover, it was heartening to attend BZN— I’m encouraged to see such high regard for intelligent filmmaking. ~ Ted Turner
Our Opening Night film was James Redford's Happening: A Clean Energy Revolution. The evening was mutually rewarding: “It was an honor to participate in the inaugural launch of BZN Film Festival. The films, the panels, the gatherings—all were a passionate extension of Bozeman, one of the most cherished cultural hubs of the Rockies." ~ James Redford
