Film Festival Virginia Business
and Arts Networking - Powered by VA Business Networking
Created in the late
1980s, the Virginia Festival of American Film (renamed
The Virginia Film Festival) was endorsed by the
state’s Department of Economic Development and
adopted by the University of Virginia. The intent was
twofold: to stimulate economic development by encouraging
film production in Virginia and increasing tourism, and
to meld the creative interests and crafts of the American
film industry with the intellectual resources of a
nationally ranked university. The Festival has grown into
an event of national significance, engaging a large
number of University faculty and attracting substantial
film industry and public attention.
In 1996, the University decided
to make the Film Festival a more integral part of its
academic program. The Festival was moved under the
umbrella of the College of Arts and Sciences, where it
would become the centerpiece of a year-round film studies
and exhibition program. The focus on American film was
retained, but expanded to encompass a broader range of
international films which American cinema influences and
reflects.
The Festival also
expanded its year-round programs, including a very active
Film Society that presents films and guest speakers at
the downtown Vinegar Hill Theatre.

fingers dancing over the guitar strings, his head thrown
back then bending deeply forward, eyes often shut, now
one foot poised in midair, he feels the music. He is
