Farewell Friends
We have decided that after 25 fine years it is time to bid farewell. It took a community to run the Festival year after year and we are deeply indebted to so many wonderful groups and individuals who, through their dedication and gracious support made the PRFF possible. Most of all we want to thank YOU, our community, for joining us at the Festival and supporting our mission to foster cross-cultural understanding through the medium of film .
We are forever grateful.
