Since 2010, The Grand Cinema has been taking advantage of the simultaneously obvious and genius concept of taking Filmmaker Magazine's yearly list and turning it into a film festival celebrating rising talent. Actors, writers, directors, animators and other facets of filmmaking are honored by the magazine, and then in turn are celebrated during the five-day festival at The Grand Cinema. Frequently, the honorees in question show up to introduce their films and participate in Q & A's. It's a must-see event for anyone fascinated by the continuing evolution of the art of film.
25 NEW FACES OF INDEPENDENT FILM, Friday, Aug. 15-Wednesday, Aug. 20, Open Night Mixer 9:30 p.m. Aug. 15 (no cover), Roundtable Discussion 6 p.m. Aug. 18, The Grand Cinema, 606 Fawcett Ave., Tacoma, $5-$9.50, grandcinema.com
