The 2022 Dam Short Film Festival is following in the footsteps of 2021 and will once again be held virtually.

“We received so much positive feedback on the virtual experience last year and are excited to be able to stay true to our mission of making original, unusual and entertaining short films available to the general public for our 18th annual festival,” said Lee Lanier, Dam Short Film Festival co-founder and director of continuity, in a press release.

The film festival started in 2003 and was founded by Lanier and his wife, Anita. Since then, it has screened more than 2,500 films and given filmmakers from all over the world a chance to showcase their unique and original stories.

Usually held in person at the Boulder Theatre in town, the film festival switched to a virtual format in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual festival gives viewers the opportunity to screen all the films in an on-demand format.

“The virtual aspect allows viewers to watch at their leisure, from anywhere in the U.S. at any time of the day or night,” said Lanier. “We love presenting the festival in person in Boulder City, but the virtual platform allows us to keep everyone safe while the pandemic lingers. We plan to return to the Boulder Theatre in 2023.”

The 2022 festival will take place Feb. 10-14.

In addition to offering access to almost 150 short films, there will be question and answer sessions with the filmmakers and other live stream events for viewers to participate in.

Tickets will be sold as household passes for the entire festival as well as passes to the individual program blocks. The date they will be available has not been set, and a full lineup of all the films will be released soon.

When household products overpromise and actually deliver
By Norma Vally

Every now and again you come across a product that makes you stand back and say, “Wow, that worked way better than I thought it would!” These gleeful moments come as a welcome surprise when we’re often disappointed by products that overpromise and under-deliver. When I find these little gems, I store them away in my mental DIY toolbox. This past month, I was happy to add a few more “must have” products that exceeded my expectations.

By City Manager Ned Thomas

Individuals camping in public spaces has increased dramatically in the past few years across the nation. On May 27 the city of Boulder City joined the cities of Reno, Las Vegas, Henderson, and Sparks, along with Clark, Washoe, and Nye counties in passing a measure to expand the prohibition on camping in public places within city limits. The new ordinance goes into effect on June 19, 2025.
