WELCOME TO THE EQUUS Film Festival FROM Lisa Diersen, Director & Founder


By: EQUUS | November 19, 2019

WELCOME TO THE EQUUS Film Festival FROM Lisa Diersen, Director & Founder
I want to personally invite you to join me December 5 - 8, 2019, to enjoy our carefully curated selection of equestrian films. The EQUUS Film Festival is an exciting opportunity to celebrate two of my favorite things by bringing horses and film together. This year we will be showcasing the Mustang horse in all their glory!

Forming partnerships with the Mustang Heritage Foundation and others we hope to bring awareness to the issues facing our Mustang horses today.

As an avid horsewoman and movie lover, I've seen over and over the power of telling stories through film. Horse movies have a magical ability to inspire, educate, engage and entertain. They lift us up out of our everyday lives and place us upon the backs of these magical animals. They help us see others' points of view, those who are battling with PTSD, children with Autism, the prisoner learning to feel for others through working with horses. All of these stories help us to build new bridges of empathy and understanding through the power of the horse.

This festival showcases equestrian films selected for their ability to share the wonder of horses through the filmmakers lens. These equine films bring us closer to understanding the influence the horse has had on us throughout history. They show us how horses are playing an important role in healing our hearts today.

And where better to host a film festival than at the Kentucky Horse Park, the Horse Capitol Of The World. A central meeting point for equine filmmakers from around the world. This year we have films from 12 different countries and filmmakers joining us from around the world.

I'm honored to give equine storytellers from all over the world one more reason to create amazing films, literature and art focused on the horse. And I'm delighted that horse lovers everywhere will have the opportunity to experience some truly extraordinary equine films. If you can't make it to Lexington Kentucky then join us on our streaming platform and enjoy these wonderful films in the comfort of your own home!

I hope you'll mark your calendars and join us December 5 - 8, 2019 for another awesome and inspiring EQUUS Film Festival.
