Utah Film Center's 15th Anniversary Gala


Celebrating Utah Film Center's 15 Years + 3,000 Film Screenings

Thank you to all who joined us last Thursday to celebrate 15 years of free, independent film under the stars! It was a memorable evening, reflecting on the creativity and persistence of our founders, what we've accomplished together and the journey still before us. From our corporate and foundation donors to our generous individual supporters, volunteers and local artists: we are deeply grateful for your support and unflagging enthusiasm in our belief that independent film has the power to change lives.

So, a toast to all of you who make our work possible: thank you for your continued support! We'll see you at the movies!
