Tickets are now on sale for the second annual Odds & Ends Film Festival. Presented by Light House Studio and programmed by Rachel Lane (Program Director at LHS), Anna Hogg (Assistant Professor at UVA), and Jason Robinson (Associate Professor at UMW), the festival will take place on April 6th, 2024 at Vinegar Hill Theater.
Several of the films in our program explore intimacy and connection through family heirlooms, photographs, and other objects, while others engage with public sculptures, memorials, and landmarks as they relate to school systems, identity fictions, or settler-colonialism. Different filmmakers search for and engage with questions of identity within the context of motherhood, the African diaspora, Islam, and more. The films often undertake alternative modes of perception through touch, taste, and hearing. Still others address the form of film, drawing attention to the cultural implications of so simple a tool as the gray-card, or breaking apart the synchronicity of sound and image. Fable, speculative fiction, and nonfiction feature in the program, with their subjects ranging from the human to the nonhuman.
The newest feature of our programming includes a series of installations and events, including a looped 16mm projection by Charlotte Taylor, an installation of video and sculpture by Will Goss, and a video and film projection from our brand new experimental film and video workshop with LHS students. Lastly, we will have a video installation by Lindsey Arturo and Kaitlyn Paston at Quirk Gallery, which will be available for viewing in the week preceding the festival.
