The Carrboro Film Fest, organized and sponsored by the Town of Carrboro, is marking its 20th year as a showcase for Southern independent film. The event has consistently focused on films created by Southern filmmakers.
This year’s festival will feature 44 short films and features from states including Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Missouri. Notably, half of the selected films are from North Carolina filmmakers.
Festival Director Bryan Reklis said, “Our mission is to celebrate and interrogate Southern culture through film. Film is an art that taps into the vast array of human emotions, and the festival gives audiences an opportunity to experience those emotions in a communal setting alongside the filmmakers themselves, which is one of the perks of a small-town festival like ours.”
For the first time this year, the festival will be held at the Drakeford Library Complex at 203 S. Greensboro St.
Reklis added, “We’ve got films for everyone. If you love drama, comedy, horror, documentary, or anything else, we’ve got you covered. And it’s all new, all exciting, and all Southern.”
