The Rosa Goddard International Film Festival

 

Since 2011, SQecial Media has sponsored the Rosa Goddard International Film Festival every fall at the Kentucky Theatre. Rosa Goddard was a longtime fan of international film and the festival was originally founded to celebrate her love of cinema. We have been proud to continue the tradition in her name.

The posters for our festival are designed by local artist Ed Franklin, who also curates each year's films.
