Earlier this month, VMDO Marketing Specialist, Michael R. Deitz, sat down with two key organizers of the 35th Virginia Film Festival, for which VMDO acted as a local Charlottesville sponsor. Assistant Director of UVA Arts Development, Lizzy Ramey, and VAFF Senior Programmer, Ilya Tovbis, spoke about their roles in festival curation, the relationship between the cinema and community, and the socio-cultural importance of local arts venues like ones Charlottesville has to offer.
Check out the video of the roundtable conversation and for some upcoming 2023 film recommendations for the new year.
