Tacoma Film Festival Winners Announced... And Tomorrow is the Festival's Final Night

The Tacoma Film Festival, hosted by The Grand Cinema, will draw to a close tomorrow (Thursday, October 14) night. A full slate of films will run from noon until the closing celebration and screenings at The Grand Cinema at 6:30pm. The closing night features will be two films connected to the Northwest, with the filmmakers in attendance for audience interaction.
