In the coming weeks, Full Frame will announce additions to the NEW DOCS program, along with film listings for the festival’s other sections; the 2009 Career Award honoring St. Clair Bourne, the 2009 Thematic Program “This Sporting Life,” and Special Programming.
“We are excited about this year’s Festival and the NEW DOCS program," says Peg Palmer, Full Frame’s executive director. "In a year where the reality of our economy is sobering and we’re all examining priorities, a documentary program can evoke memories of fundamental truths and patterns in human nature.”

Festival passes can be purchased until March 15, online at www.fullframefest.org or by calling Etix, the festival’s ticketing partner at 1-800- 514-3849.
