The 5th-annual Siouxland Inspirational & Historical Short Film Festival has expanded to two sessions this year in Sioux City, Iowa. On Sunday, November 17, a selection of films will be shown in the auditorium at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.

 

From 11:00 to 1:00 p.m., a variety of locally, regionally, and nationally produced short films will be projected. They will include documentaries, comedies, and general interest flicks. After intermission, a series of historical films will be shown starting at 2:00 p.m.

 

The goal of the Siouxland Inspirational & Historical Short Film Festival is to showcase short films that are inspiring, heartwarming, thought-provoking, family-friendly, and entertaining. This festival offers a venue to show local films and those of other talented filmmakers from the region, the U.S., and beyond.  The film festival seeks to be an alternative to the Hollywood sex, violence and immorality permeating much of the movie industry

 

The Siouxland Inspirational & Historical Short Film Festival is produced through the Siouxland Filmmakers Club.  Joseph McMahon, president and founder of the filmmakers group, will co-host the event. McMahon is an award-winning multimedia journalist and video photographer for KTIV Channel 4 TV in Sioux City.

 

The founder of the film festival, Tom Schoening, will be the other host introducing the films. After retiring from a 40-year career in journalism, photography, corporate communications, marketing and PR, Schoening continues to use his skills for nonprofit organizations, including the Sioux City Camera Club, his Church, and several other groups.
