Moondance International Film Festival took place Jan 25-27 in Boulder, Colorado.
The festival put together a collection of films, TV shows, radio shows, music
videos, stageplays, short stories, puppetry theater, and writings to promote
and cultivate creative diversity and intercultural dialogue. This year also
included special themes such as films produced by kids, non-violent conflict
resolution, films and writings with depictions of women and girls in a positive
light, and cutting-edge independent films.

Sell-out screenings, workshops, and parties marked this year's event with over
double last year's attendance. Moondance Awards included the Colombine Awards,
given for non-violent conflict resolution, and the Ginger Rogers Trophy, given
this year to Pam Grier. With the rapid expansion of the festival, Moondance
organizers announce they are accepting admissions for the 2003 competition beginning
April 1, 2002.
