The ashland independent film festival is pleased to present an encore screening of locally produced films from the 11th annual AIFF on Thursday, July 12th at 5:30p and 8:00p at the Varsity Theatre in downtown Ashland. Tickets go on sale beginning June 28th at the Varsity Box Office and are discounted for AIFF members. The program is suitable for audiences of all ages.
Local filmmakers Ross Williams (Robot Love), Cici Brown (The Spirit Behind Bowmer in the Park) and Pat Somers (An Ordinary Life) will be on hand for an audience Q&A immediately following each screening.
Thanks to the generosity of our year-round sponsor Coming Attractions Theatres, ticket proceeds from both screenings will benefit the non-profit ashland independent film festival.
We hope you will join us for this very special “encore” celebration of local film and filmmakers!
