The Great River Film Festival at Denison is a student-run film festival with the purpose of bringing a wide variety of the best short and feature films to the Denison and Granville communities. The festival will take place Friday and Saturday, March 26 and 27, in the Slayter Union Auditorium (200 Ridge Road). All the films are free and open to the public.

The festival will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 26, with a screening of “Artois the Goat,” a comedy directed by Cliff Bogart and Kyle Bogart.

Saturday’s schedule of short films:

• Block 1, from 2-2:50 p.m.: “Boutonniere,” “Forever I'll Love You,” “Hopewell,” “Stalk Much,” and “The Legacy.”
• Block 2, from 3-3:50 p.m.: “The Island,” “Educating Cooper,” “Lollygagger,” “Marina, the Fisherman's Wife,” and “Leonardo.”

The festival will conclude at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday evening with a screening of the feature film “In/Significant Others.”

Christian Ambrose, a senior at Denison from Winnetka, Ill., and the coordinator of the festival, says “There are so many great, independent short and feature films being made that most people won’t get a chance to see. I feel that the Great River Film Festival serves an important role in exposing these films to a wider audience and giving our community an opportunity to see some the excellent and diverse films being made.”
