I always purchase my ticket early to get the discount, and originally the festival was in February. However, they have changed the dates to coincide with a music festival called Bragg Jam. So the dates are July 16 through July 19. Last year, Matthew Modine was a featured speaker.

Film festivals are springing up all over. Milledgeville Film Festival is this weekend, and they have a surprisingly good line-up. The small film festivals allow more interaction with the audience in panel discussions and speakers.
Search on the internet for film festivals in your area. Many new venues have opened in recent years.

Milledgeville - isn't that the home of my gal Flannery O'Conner? I didn't realize Georgia was such a film mecca. Are the films documentary-style or drama?

That sounds like a fun event. I keep meaning to go to one in my city that takes place in the fall - maybe this year, since my oldest may have an entry in it. :)

That sounds like a fun time. I should check to see if our area does anything like that.
ReplyDeleteFilm festivals are cool. I should make it a point to go to them more often. :)
