In addition to screening many of the same films as the Montpelier locations, Catamount Arts will feature a high school filmmakers showcase.Donald Rae, the Executive Director of Focus on Film recently commented on the addition of St. Johnsbury as a satellite location.“The Green Mountain Film Festival has become one of the most vibrant events of its kind in the region.
