The Columbus Film Festival has existed since 1953, but was preceded by the foundation of the Columbus Film Council in 1950 by the late Dr. Edgar Dale, Professor Emeritus of The Ohio State University and other professionals interested in promoting the use of 16 mm motion pictures. Two years later, the Columbus Film Festival was born. Since its inception, the object of the Film Council has been to encourage and promote the use of 16 mm motion pictures and, subsequently, video tape in all forms of education and communication, not only in the local community but throughout the world. During the many years of continuous operation the Festival has honored thousands of film and video producers. The Festival has grown in scope, becoming international in 1972 and, in the late 1980's, adding video. In 1997 it added the CD ROM format. In 2004 the Festival added DVDs to its list of accepted formats. EXTERNAL LINKS
