Napa Valley Film Festival unveils narrative, docs competition

The 2014 festival will screen 22 features in competition. The full film program line-up, including out-of-competition special presentations, sneak previews of awards season contenders, and narrative, documentary and animated shorts, will be announced in September.

Narrative Competition entries include Little Accidents, Thank You A Lot, Sun Belt Express and Like Sunday, Like Rain.

Among the documentary competition entries are Happy Valley, Havana Curveball, Underwater Dreams and #chicagoGirl: The Social Network Takes On A Dictator.

“This is an exceptionally strong year for both the narrative and documentary competition programmes,” said programme director Herb Stratford. 

“Our thoughts are with everyone in the Napa Valley who have suffered losses from the recent earthquake,” said co-founder/artistic director Marc Lhormer. “We are proud to be part of a community that rallies in support of each other in such a generous and big hearted way. As they say in the business, the show must go on.

“These filmmakers have created new works that provoke, inspire, educate and entertain. They are the heart of our programme each year, which includes more than 100 new independent films and advance studio screenings, and we are excited to announce their participation in the festival.”
