[edit] Festival Introduction

The following introduction was written by Fargo Theatre Executive Director Margie Bailly, and appeared in the program:

Throughout the fall and winter I have been gazing at – listening to – the sights and sounds of the major construction project literally right outside my office door. The inevitable comparisons arise between constructing a building complex and building a film festival.

Parking lot transformations require developers, architects, contractors and lots of “guys” in hard hats. Film festivals need staff, volunteers, film aficionados and donors armed with strong will, creativity, perseverance and sometimes hard heads. The early stages of our building project included large noisy machines and some serious digging. Preliminary efforts for the 8th Annual Festival included a significant web site overhaul and Wiki project chronicling the seven years of the Fargo Film Festival.

In late fall, as the snow began to fly, concrete flowed into the excavated parking lot and film submissions piled up in the theatre. In January and February, construction workers donned layers of heavy clothing and began framing the basement level of their project. Fargo Film Festival volunteers and staff began framing our project in the basement of the theatre with hours of film viewing, critiquing and selecting.
