Lights, Camera, Action! The Virginia Film Festival’s Celebrated Return to In-Person Venues

https://magazine.arts.virginia.edu/stories/lights-camera-action-the-virginia-fi…
On Wednesday, October 27th, UVA President Jim Ryan took the stage of The Paramount Theater to welcome the near-capacity crowd, all gathered to see Wes Anderson’s latest film, The French Dispatch. The film was the first of many to be screened at the 34th Annual Virginia Film Festival. Ryan’s speech was not just any welcome, just as 2021 is not just any year. The night marked a return to live theatrical presentation for VAFF following a virtual and drive-in program in 2020 due to COVID-19.
