On September 6, 2006 The Idaho Mountain Express reported, "Because of politics and Hollywood's need to reap the big bucks, the power of films has gotten a bad rap as of late. Plenty of message-less movies exist in today's culture. But film remains one of the most universal of languages, since it appeals on so many visceral levels. Fortunately there are still filmmakers whose work can reach deep into a viewer's soul and affect change--or at least illumination. It is appropriate, therefore, that the theme of the second annual Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival is the 'Illuminating Power of Film.' The featured movies were chosen by the board of directors because they feature the best artistic and creative portrayals of world spiritual traditions. While most of the films are from the U.S., others were made in Spain, Poland, France, Morocco, India, Tibet, Canada, Italy, Israel and Argentina. Besides the more than 35 films that will be shown, there are special events and speakers featuring Mathew Fox, Nathan Katz, Stephen Crisman and Sharon Janis."
