FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ask Ray Bradbury a Question! Buffalo Film Festival to host Bradbury appearance in October 2009.

Buffalo, NY; Los Angeles, CA Ray Bradbury, world-reknowned author, will answer three questions posed by three lucky people from Western New York. In connection with a special screening to be held as part of Buffalo Film Festival 2009, Mr. Bradbury, who turns 89 years old in August, will make an appearance via remote-hookup from Los Angeles, California. Bradbury is the author of 11 novels, including the classics Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles; nearly 40 short story collections, including The Illustrated Man and The October Country; 20 plays; poetry collections; movies; comic books; and literally hundreds of short stories. Ray Harryhausen, the greatest living stop-motion animator, is a childhood friend.

"We want Western New Yorkers to have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interract with one of the greatest writers of our century," said Edward Summer, President of the Buffalo International Film Festival, "so we're holding a little contest to select the best three questions to ask. It will be a hard choice, but there will be limited time at the event."

The questions will be reviewed for imagination, insight, relevance to Western New York History. Only three questions can be selected, and the decision of the judges will be final.

The Buffalo Film Festival is committed to the community of Western New York and bringing them extraordinary, international opportunites for both entertainment and enlightment.
