Solstice Film Festival Founder and Executive Director, Devin
Halden, dreamt about a film festival that not only showcased
incredible movies featuring the film industries up and coming
talent, but he also wanted to transform downtown St. Paul, MN
into a hub of entertainment, allowing the festival goer to
experience the lifestyle of paparazzi and movie stars. The Red
Carpet will be rolled out and the flash bulbs will be popping
when Minnesota gives Tinsel Town a run for it's money!

Our Grand Venue for 2008, located in the Lowertown historic district of St.
Paul, Minnesota, The Galtier Plaza provides space for working, living, eating,
and recreating in a self-contained project on one square city block. SFF is
temporarily converting a 400 seat movie house with 3 full-sized movie
screens and state-of-the-art surround sound.
The festival's special events are a popular element to our very balanced
event. With the addition of live music and benefit concerts to the festival
program, Solstice Film Festival has truly become a champion of the creative
arts.
Recognized every year as one of the top festivals for programing, SFF
continued building on the reputation with bringing light several World
Premiers, including "Believers" from award winning filmmaker Daniel Myrick
(Blair Witch Project).

We also pride ourselves in going the extra mile for all of our films in programming. With distribution reps from major studio
labels in attendance for the event, films in our programming are screened for many influential individuals who can bring your film
to the next level.
Our saucy Burlesque Show proved to be an attendee favorite. Le Cirque Rouge danced and sang the night away while
dressed...and undressed... scantly clad.
