Silver Springs International Film Festival debuts ‘Vaxxed’ as Tribeca and Houston cave to censorship
An Interview with Silver Springs International Film Festival Director Greg Thompson.
What sets the Silver Springs International Film Festival apart from other film festivals?
First and foremost, our deep connection our community. We gift back a substantial portion of our profits to scholarships, classroom grants and local film incentives. We have also forged some great partnerships with other festivals like Equus Film Festival and Shriekfest LA, to provide our festival-goers with the best experience possible.
The film "Vaxxed" will be making its International Festival debut after Tribeca pulled the film. Can you tell us the story behind SSIFF accepting the honors to debut the film?
We were given an opportunity to screen the film and thought it was well-made and that there was no reason not to screen it - the group that screened it included citizens, festival board members and community leaders from varying demographics. We reached out and were honored to be chosen out of many festivals who were pitching for the opportunity, based our inquiry and mission statement.
