Keeping it short

Friday 3/22 - Sunday 3/24

Three days of screenings, competitions, and talks take place across Charlottesville as filmmakers from around the globe present their work at the Indie Short Film Festival. The fest grew out of the Indie Short Film Series, established locally by writer, director, and event marketing guru Ty Cooper in 2019. After touring to other markets, Cooper is back with a 70-plus roster of animation, drama, documentary, and comedy shorts, paired with award ceremonies, artist talks, table reads, and technical breakout sessions.

If this kind of local, independent journalism matters to you, help keep it going. It costs $26,245 a week—$2.23 weekly per copy, or roughly $9.50 monthly per copy—to produce C-VILLE Weekly, including writers, designers, printing, and overhead. We suggest a recurring gift of $10 per month to help cover production costs, but any amount adds up to revenue we can count on.
