POLSON, Mont. (AP) - The northwest Montana city of Polson is gearing up for its fourth annual international film festival.

The Missoulian reports (https://bit.ly/1RPjkwT ) that the Flathead Lake International Cinemafest will open Friday. The festival will feature short and feature-length movies from Montana and the rest of the world.

The festival received about 80 submissions this year, and festival chairman David W. King says interest in the festival has been growing since it began.



King says there are hopes that the cinemafest will become a destination film festival, but that would require building a theater for Polson to accommodate more films.
