On October 31st through November 7th, the Savannah College of Art and Design will roll out the 2009 edition of their annual Savannah Film Festival. This Popular Historic District hosted Festival grows larger every year due in part to “their full range of cinematic creativity from both award-winning professionals and emerging student filmmakers” according to Film Festival World. As the SCAD Festival website says in part below:
“The Savannah Film Festival regularly screens award-winning films before their national release dates at the beautifully restored Trustees Theater, a 1946 cinema house, and the Lucas Theatre for the Arts, a former Vaudeville venue. Savannah becomes a film lover's paradise during this weeklong event, which also features workshops, panel discussions and presentations by well-known artists and filmmakers. Films screened at the festival have come from Scotland, the UK, Vietnam, Australia, Switzerland, Ukraine, Israel, China, Germany, Canada, the United States and Ecuador, and special guests in attendance have included Malcolm McDowell, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Peter O'Toole, Kathleen Turner, Danny Glover, Milos Forman, Bruce Dern, Alec Baldwin, Sydney Pollack, Alan Cumming, Roger Ebert, Jane Fonda, John Waters, Danny Glover, Natasha Richardson and Ellen Burstyn.”
So come to the historic district later this fall for our Savannah Film Festival. Rub elbows with the stars in Savannah’s “Theatre District”.
