The Southern Utah International Documentary Film Festival (DOCUTAH) is an annual film festival, held in September, that strives to recognize some of the best in international documentary films.〔 〕 Hosted by Dixie State University (DSU), the festival screens films at various locations throughout the southern Utah area, including Ivins, Springdale, Kanab, and St. George. DOCUTAH, also, has an educational focus, and features “master class educational seminars.” ==History== Dixie State University founded DOCUTAH in 2009. From the beginning, this Festival has aimed to provide attendees with not only a meaningful film-going experience, but also an educational one through its “master class educational seminars.” The originator of the festival idea, Phil Tuckett, serves as the director of the Dick Nourse Center for Media Innovation at DSU. When he returned to his junior college (DSU) in 2006, after 38 years of working for NFL Films and receiving 30 Emmy Awards, he felt that the southern Utah area would serve as the perfect place to hold an international documentary film festival. After working for several months with DSU’s Vice President of Institutional Advancement, Christina Schultz, to make his vision come to fruition, Tuckett officially announced DOCUTAH on 24 September 2009. The City of St. George, the St. George Convention and Tourism office, the City of Kanab, and Kane County’s Office of Tourism and Film Commission (along with the Center for Education, Business,and the Arts) were some of the first to support and sponsor DOCUTAH. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southern Utah International Documentary Film Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
