The winners of the 2007 All Roads Film Festival are we, the audience who were able to witness these amazing works and the artists who were given this platform to share their stories.  That said, All Roads does give special recognition the the films voted on by the audience in the categories of "Best Short" and "Best Feature Film."  This year, there was actually a tie in the Short's category with Daf (Bahman Ghobadi) and Taua (Tearepa Kahi) sharing the honor.  Super Amigos (Arturo Perez Torres) received the top prize for Best Feature.  With the closing of the Washington D.C. run of All Roads, all of the filmmakers and photographers departed for their home destinations across the globe.  New relationships both professional and personal were realized here as this amazing diversity of talent were brought together for this landmark event.  In addition to the screening of these amazing works, the artists were also given intimate access to industry executives who lead such panels as, Marketing and Distribution on the International Market, Film Distribution and New Media,  Story Development and Distribution in the U.S. and Creative Funding Strategies.
