Palm Springs Festival of Festivals used to take place in October/November Palm Springs, California.
It was established in 2001 [1] by Craig Prater, Executive Director, as a showcase of short and feature films as a challenge to the longer-standing Palm Springs International Film Festival, of which Prater had previously been director.
The festival aimed to attract all ages of the community, with the inclusion of a four-day International Children's Film Festival complete with a youth panel of jurors and awards created by elementary age children to acknowledge participants.
All profits from the Children's Festival were donated to the Children's Museum of the Desert.
The Palm Springs chapter of Women in Film sponsored the award ceremony.
