Mountain Madness Film Festival

October is a beautiful time of year in East Tennessee, especially in the Gatlinburg, TN area.  This time of year people flock to the mountains to witness the changing of the seasons and the vibrant showing of the leaves.  As if you needed another reason to visit Gatlinburg this time of year, Second Harvest is proud to introduce the Mountain Madness Film Festival (MMFF), running from October 7th to October 10th in beautiful Gatlinburg, TN.

"The mission of MMFF is to celebrate the people, products, and passion involved in the art of motion pictures.  MMFF will provide the community with a cultural institution that inspires, educates and entertains through screenings and events.  MMFF will also provide the makers of films, and the makers of film products, with a unique and powerful opportunity to enjoy together, the fruits of their labors – films."

MMFF will have events, amazing films, panel discussions, and celebrations all with NO ADMISSION PRICE. 

MMFF has chosen several charities that they believe are important to everyone, especially all of those supporting or attending Mountain Madness Film Festival 2010 and Second Harvest has been chosen as one those charities!  Thank you MMFF and Duane Langley for all of your hard work and for choosing Second Harvest Food Bank as one of your charities!
