The Virginia Film Festival, which will screen more than 100 films in Charlottesville from Nov. 1-4, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Students can reserve free tickets to all films through the University’s Arts Box Office.
At the Nov. 1 opening gala at the Jefferson Theater, Virginia Film Festival Director Jody Kielbasa will present awards to the festival’s founders, former Virginia Gov. Gerald Baliles and Patricia Kluge.
“We look forward to celebrating the remarkable history of the Virginia Film Festival and to honoring those individuals whose creativity, vision and guidance helped get us where we are today,” Kielbasa said in a press release Tuesday.
Festival publicist John Kelly said in an email that the festival had topped all-time attendance records in each of the past three years. Seventy-five percent of the film screenings at this year’s festival will be followed by panel discussions — some featuring the film’s director.
Produced locally and by independent studios across the globe, selected films include classics like “All the President’s Men,” as well as newly released documentaries, narrative shorts and experimental movies.
