Luminaris
A short film by Juan Pablo Zaramella This awesome, stop-motion styled short has incredible fun throughout while playing at the toil of the work day. Seeming to be set in a old world Italy of yesteryear, it forms a great feel totally different from its Argentinian roots. The filmmaker and his team display real ingenuity […]

Only the Young
The documentary has been going through a lot of changes over the past 10 years. Technology, like affordable DSLRs that are capable of creating beautiful images in very low-light situations, has seen the documentary genre itself change. Two of the documentaries that we’re screening during the festival, Only the Young and Tchoupitoulas, are perfect examples […]

The World Needs Laughter and So Does a Film Festival
When it comes to a film festival, it is good to have selections with a few laughs. I love documentaries about collecting soup can labels in North Korea, and tense dramas about a divorced couple ordering take-out as much as the next guy, but we can all benefit from a laugh or two. A few […]
Spotlight: Murder by Death
I’m sure you know by now that the Film Festival is more than just film. If you do not, then please see me after class. For this year’s festival we’ve partnered with Fusion Shows to put together four amazing nights of music. Our headliners have impressive resumes that include SXSW, world tours, and industry awards. […]
Arts in the Community
Motion pictures have held a special place in people’s hearts since their invention in 1895, and ever since then people have been using film as a means to express themselves. Films are a magical experience for those who watch them; they allow us to get lost in imaginary worlds, scare the pants off of us, or leave […]

Film Fest Virgin
This April, I’ll be going to the Capital City Film Festival. It will be my first time experiencing a film festival of any sort, and honestly I cannot wait. I’ve always thought that to go to something like this I’d have to be in Chicago or LA or some really artsy city, so I’m pumped […]
