Post this

Columbia Film Festival is presented in partnership with the now 32 year legacy of the highly successful Columbia Festival of the Arts, a 501 c 3 non-profit organization whose mission is to present a world class celebration of the arts and entertainment that attracts, engages and inspires the broad and diverse community it serves.

The 2019 Columbia Film Festival Lineup

Thursday June 27: The Columbia Film Festival opens with a wide selection for all ages. The Bain Senior Center hosts a Classic Corner Cinema double feature presents the original 1937 A STAR IS BORN with Janet Gaynor plus a pre-Hollywood code film LIBELED LADY starring Jean Harlow and Spencer Tracy. Hosted by Historic Oakland, Local Maryland filmmakers are represented with THESPIAN, a new serio-comedy digital series. The Howard County Public Library Miller Branch will feature a unique live screenplay reading with professional actors of an Eduardo Sanchez (THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT) comedy script SINKHOLE 2, co-penned with Maryland writer Jaime Nash. The evening wraps up with a VIP Opening Night reception held at Howard County Center for the Arts followed by two (2) Maryland base comedy feature films NOTHING FROM SOMETHING and I LIKE ME.

Friday June 28: Programming moves to the Horowitz Center at Howard Community College, starting with a Student Short Film Celebration, presenting over a dozen films by up and coming young filmmakers. An independent feature ARROWS OF OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE is followed by a trio of powerful documentary films, BIG LIES, THE AMERICAN SOUTH and R.A.W. TUBA that address Social Justice and Equality. The evening wraps up with two entertaining blocks of diverse short films, many already award winning projects, plus a screening of a locally produced Western BILL TILGHMAN AND THE OUTLAWS which stars local actor Ken Arnold, TV legends Johnny Crawford and Darby Hinton.

Saturday June 29: The final day opens with four powerful films on Balance, Health, Wellness, and Inspiration, followed by the Sprout films, an afternoon of poignant, beautiful, humorous and thought provoking short films featuring people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Next, Columbia Film Festival is honored to team up with the famous 48 Hour Film Festival to present the very best of their worldwide winners, plus the best of 2019's Baltimore and Washington, DC films.

A highlight of the Columbia Film Festival, prior to an Award Ceremony and "Best of Fest" encore screening, will be a big screen presentation of the Five Time Emmy Award Winning series AFTER FOREVER, followed by an audience Q&A with Tony and Emmy Nominated actress Anita Gillette (MOONSTRUCK, 30 ROCK), Emmy winning actor and Co-Creator/Writer Kevin Spirtas (FRIDAY 13th, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) who star in the series and Co-creator/Writer Michael Slade (ONE LIFE TO LIVE). AFTER FOREVER poignantly explores major life changes, focusing on an older gay couple living in New York City who appear to have it all — until Jason's untimely death forces Brian to think about his own future and ultimately his own mortality, without the love of his life. With universal relevance, AFTER FOREVER (as described by The Advocate) is "a story about love and loss, it's also about being over 50, and when you have no other choice but to rebuild your life from scratch."

The Columbia Film Festival is made possible in part thanks to the support of our key sponsor Anchor Construction Corporation and a generous contribution from the Maryland Film Office. AFTER FOREVER is further presented in connection with Howard County PRIDE, the first ever celebration of sexual and gender minorities in Howard County which is Co-Hosted by PFLAG Columbia-Howard County and the Office of County Executive Calvin Ball.

Individual tickets for Columbia Film Festival range from $10-$25 with a limited number of Discounted All-Access 3-Day VIP Passes available for $55, and individual All-Day Access Passes available for $35. To purchase tickets, full schedule and/or for more information visit http://www.ColumbiaFilmFestival.org.
