The Sun Valley Film Festival, held March 13-16 in Sun Valley, Idaho, will offer up a film slate of over 50 features and shorts, along with new programs, events and concerts. Idaho Governor C.L. Otter will open the festival and introduce the opening night film, Arie Posin's The Face of Love, starring Ed Harris and Annette Bening. "We're so pleased that the Sun Valley Film Festival is returning for its third year this March, and I am pleased to be introducing the opening night screening," said Governor Otter. "The state of Idaho has a proud filmmaking heritage."

The Festival's films include 11 narrative and 15 documentary feature-length works from 11 countries as well as over 40 short films. Festival partner National Geographic Channels will be presenting 3 world premieres. "Our goal is to bring in the best films, innovative programs and high energy events to Sun Valley," said SVFF executive director Teddy Grennan. "With a solid lineup of new films from around the world, a talent-packed Screenwriters Lab and guests from all over the country, Sun Valley Film Festival 'take 3' is going to be another hit."
