Virginia Film Festival Success More than Ticket Sales

Virginia Film Festival officials recently announced what attendees and special guests of the Festival saw all weekend long – that by every possible measure, the 28th Annual VFF was an unqualified success.

The Virginia Film Festival is presented by the University of Virginia and the Office of the Provost and Vice Provost for the Arts.

The 2015 Virginia Film Festival welcomed Hollywood heavy hitters like Meg Ryan and Oliver Stone, famed film historian and critic Leonard Maltin, history-making writer and activist Larry Kramer, rising stars like Israel Broussard and Maddie Hasson, and more than 100 filmmakers covering territory from right here in Virginia to points all across the globe.

Record numbers of film fans streamed into theaters across Charlottesville throughout the four-day festival to take in more than 130 films and special events in what was one of the VFF’s deepest and most diverse programs in its 28-year history.

 “This was, in every way, an extraordinary year for us,” said VFF Director and U.Va. Vice Provost for the Arts Jody Kielbasa. “Each year as we go through the process of putting together our program, we are inspired to raise the bar for what we know is one of the most engaged and enthusiastic film festival audiences in America. The way our patrons came out to support this program this year is truly remarkable, humbling, and gratifying. “
