Excited to share that our film The Kincade Fire - A Documentary will be premiering at the Alexander Valley Film festival this year! Check it out and a seriously amazing lineup of films, panels and other virtual experiences.
**Welcome to the 2021 Alexander Valley Film Festival!**
It’s been a year.
In 2019, after multiple fires and near misses, leadership at the Alexander Vally Film Society determined that spring was the safest place for us to conduct our annual Film Festival. Little did we know that the first foray into our new slot would find us socially distancing, watching most of our films virtually, and hoping for the containment of a global pandemic!
But here we are.
The good news is that we locked our most ambitious and diverse Festival yet. Beginning Friday, April 23rd, Meet Emily and Beau Bridges on Opening Night to chat about Emily’s new film ACTING: THE FIRST SIX LESSONS. Plan to celebrate the Oscars® or Red Carpet Evening 2021 with us on Sunday in your PJs. Wednesday is our Neighbor Night - look for pizza deals from PizzaLeah Windsor Ca. in Windsor, Campo Fina Healdsburg Ca in Healdsburg, and Papa's Pizza Cafe in Cloverdale in coordination with the release of the new documentary THE KINCADE FIRE. The least we can do is talk about the past, plan for the future, and eat pizza.
Two Drive-Ins bookend the Festival this year: DIRTY DANCING at the CARPOOL CINEMA plays the first Saturday at the Cloverdale Citrus Fair, and the 2021 STUDENT FILM COMPETITON at the CARPOOL CINEMA screens the last Saturday at the Healdsburg Community Center.
We also have two Mental Health Meetups - one each Sunday morning - featuring Jenn Russo of Yoga On Center. Plus, you’ve got 68 films to devour and plenty of panels and Q&As to keep you busy.
During the pandemic, the Alexander Valley Film Society dug in and grew. This year’s Festival reflects the best we have to offer.
Please enjoy : CONNECTION!
See you at the movies!
