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

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.

The UVA Arts Council Celebrates 30 Years!

Anyone involved with the UVA Arts Council over the last 30 years will tell you that their efforts on behalf of the University and its arts-oriented students are about more than numbers. After all, it’s hard to put a price on the inspiration the members of the arts council have unleashed since its founding in 1990 and the dizzying spectrum of art that has made its way to the world with their support.
