ST. GEORGE — Independent filmmaking can be challenging, but it also allows an opportunity to spark change in the hearts and minds of viewers.
This year's Docutah International Documentary Film Festival, that kicked off on Thursday, brings filmmakers and film lovers to the MegaPlex Theater Sunset Stadium, located at 1091 N. Bluff Street in St. George, to celebrate the art of documentary film. The festival began at Utah Tech University as the brainchild of veteran filmmaker and professor Phil Tuckett in 2010.
In an email to St. George News, festival director Karman Wilson said Docutah, which is in its 14th season, is a cooperative partnership produced by Utah Tech University and the city of St. George.
"We believe these stories on film have the power to change hearts and minds and are a catalyst to spark change in the world," she said.
