Joseph Henry wins "Best of Catagory" at the Damah Film Festival

This year the Damah Film Festival was held on the grounds of the Culver Studios, where some of the greatest movies of all time were filmed : Orson Welles' classic Citizen Kane (1941), the original King Kong with Fay Wray (1933), Alfred Hitchcock's first American film, Rebecca (1940), and yes, the unforgettable Gone With the Wind (1939).

Damah Film Festival, which highlights Spiritual Experiences in Film, has announced its award winners from the 2007 show, which just took place this past weekend. Winners were announced at a gala awards ceremony Sunday night in the 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, and Best of Show categories. And the winners are...
