Buffalo Ready to Host First Ever International Film Festival

By Eileen Buckley

Buffalo, NY – For the first time ever, the city will host the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival.

The event begins this Monday, March 26. Organizers hope it could someday become as popular as the Sundance Film Festival.

Buffalo's international film festival will feature some celebrities, and those attending will come from as far away as Australia, California and Arkansas. Bill Cowell of Tonawanda is the founder of this event. He believes Buffalo's time has come in the film industry.

The Film Festival runs Monday through Thursday. For more information go on-line to www.buffaloniagarafilmfestival.com.
