The Second Annual Burien Film Festival is coming up April 1, 2016 in Olde Burien. CALL FOR ARTISTS The Burien Film Festival is Seeking 17 Burien Artists to make history in Burien. There are 17 neighborhoods which make up the city of Burien. Each artist will be assigned one Burien neighborhood and receive a commission to design a symbol or logo for that neighborhood, eventually to be displayed on a flag. It would be ideal if the artist was from that neighborhood. Film makers will be required to use each art piece in their film or movie. Artists wishing to participate are invited to a special information reception at the 913 Restaurant Tuesday January 26th at 7:00 pm where artists will hear about the project and be assigned to their neighborhood.
