Dallas International Film Festival
April 8 – 18, 2010
Dallas, Texas

The DALLAS International Film Festival is one of the fastest growing film festivals in the world. Named by Movie Maker Magazine as one of the “25 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee,” the Festival has gained the reputation as the Filmmaker’s Festival for its stellar hospitality and dedication to the art.

With only 3 years under it’s belt, the Dallas International Film Festival has been recognized for its thought-provoking programming and its commitment to education within the community. In that first three years, there were over 110,000 people in attendance from Dallas, the U.S. and around the world for over 600 screenings & special events during the Festival.

Below is a selection of short films, North Texas College filmmakers, screening at the Dallas International Film Festival. Oddly enough, it is called “North Texas College Showcase.”
