Puppet Fest '09 trailer - documentary of the National Puppetry Festival 2009

Puppet Fest '09 is the documentary of the National Puppetry Festival in 2009, presented by the Puppeteers of America. The film celebrates the art and philosophies of American and international puppetry, giving you a well-rounded look at the "best of the best" of what's out there in the puppet world RIGHT NOW.

Special consideration is given to Jim Henson's legacy as we explore a new exhibit dedicated to him as a puppeteer. His daughter, Heather Henson (IBEX Puppetry), and one of his biggest fans - John Tartaglia (Avenue Q, Sesame Street, Johnny and the Sprites), weigh in on his influence to the current generation of puppeteers.
