Though the area was ravaged by massive wildfires just a few weeks ago, festival organizers made the difficult decision to continue and make donations to those affected by the fire.<\/p>\n

Festival co-founder and artistic director Marc Lhormer said: \u201cIt has been a tough road getting to this year\u2019s festival, but what a perfect way to celebrate great storytelling in all its forms and to showcase the strength and resilience of our Napa Valley community.\u201d<\/p>\n

In all 128 films unspooled at various venues in the Napa Valley from Nov. 8-12.<\/p>\n

Feature and narrative directors took part in an artists-in-residence program at Meadowood Napa Valley where they stayed for six nights and had opportunities to join master classes and network with their peers as well as enjoy nightly winemaker dinners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe commend the festival for selecting a group of diverse and beautiful films. It has been our honor and pleasure to do our part to support this fantastic festival,\u201d said Gren Wells, Jonathan Robinson and Dierk Sindermann, members of the Documentary Shorts Jury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to the strength of the individual works, we were incredibly impressed as a jury by the truly outstanding programming,\u201d said juror Lissa Gibbs. \u201cIt was reassuring to know that each film submitted was so expertly considered and curated.\u201d<\/p>\n
