VISIONFEST 13 OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES LINE-UP!

Photo taken hours before the opening program of VF10

New York, May 17, 2013 - Coming in a couple of days earlier than originally slated, VISIONFEST 13: THE OTHER FESTIVAL, is proudly posting its full Program Lineup for this year's fest.  The announcement is being anticipated from its original target date of May 20th in an effort to give participating filmmakers, particularly those who are from out of state, a little more time to possibly consider their prospective plans to be on hand when their projects unveil in the independent film mecca of New York City: TriBeCa.  The early announcement is also intended to provide more strategic planning time for everyone involved, as VF13 preps its official "Press Release" announcement, which will go out as planned, on the morning of May 20th to the festival's media database.

For the complete schedule with synopses, info links, and trailers, please visit our website at:

We would like to publicly congratulate all the filmmakers whose works are being showcased this year and we look forward to seeing you all at Tribeca Cinemas for...
