We would like to congratulate to all of the filmmakers who participated in the 11th Annual Boston International Film Festival. We appreciate the patience of all of the filmmakers, as the tragedy that occurred this week made scheduling difficult, as we were forced to cancel a number of screenings.
We rescheduled as many films as possible, and we would like to thank all of the filmmakers for their continued support of the festival. We gathered filmmakers from around the world, who offered both global and local messages, and we celebrated them for their outstanding achievements. The winning films were announced at the closing ceremony of the festival at the AMC/Loews Theatre in Boston Common on Sunday, April 21, 2013.
