Sundance, Tribeca, and Charlottesville?

2010 Virginia Film Festival Commercial from Bryan Ross Bieber on Vimeo.

Charlottesville has been home to many unique arts events in the past, and next weekend is no different. For close to twenty years, the Virginia Film Festival has taken place in affiliation with the University of Virginia in hopes of bringing tourists to the region, stimulating interest about cinema, and complementing UVa’s many educational programs with films from around the world. The festival has many great movies to choose from that will surely suit a wide range of interests. Movies such as Freedom Riders will appeal to history buffs, while Beauty and the Beast is a great option for children. Viewers can attend as few or as many screenings as they wish, and tickets typically stay under $10 each. Additionally, the festival sponsors a Family Day and a Young Filmmakers Academy as a great way of teaching future generations educational and entertainment values of film. This year, the Virginia Film Festival will take place from November 4-7 at six theaters or viewing centers in town. Make sure to check out the film schedule! With 103 titles to choose from, no attendee will be disappointed, but if you plan on seeing more than one film, make sure you take enough popcorn!
