(VERSAILLES, Ind.) – The Ripley County Film Fest is a brand new event that will showcase local talent this summer.
The Ripley County Community Foundation received a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission to bring the inaugural festival to life.
It will run from June 2-7 and will be held at the Gibson Theatre in Batesville and the Damm Theatre in Osgood.
“The Damm Theatre and Gibson Theater are two of the only remaining single-screen theaters in the area, making them treasured landmarks that carry forward the charm of classic cinema. Hosting the Film Fest at these historic venues makes the event even more special, giving audiences a rare, authentic movie-going experience,” the Ripley County Community Foundation said.
Throughout the week, attendees can enjoy nightly screenings of locally submitted short films, followed by Hollywood movies.
The excitement will culminate on Saturday, June 7, with a grand finale showing of the winning films for a day of ‘Film Fest fun’!
