Welcome to the Bridge Film Festival. Let us begin with a moment of silence. (30 seconds) Thank you. Today you will be seeing a series of short films made by students from Friends Schools and Meetings. These films demonstrate Quaker Values in action. Values like: Simplicity, Peace, Equality, Integrity, Community and Stewardship, the SPICES.
The entries are from a variety of Friends Schools and Meetings from around the world.
The films are in many genres and represent the Bridge Film Festival categories of narrative, documentary, public service announcements and new media.
