Don’t miss the Athens International Film and Video Festival April 13-19.

Prizes are awarded by guest jurors in four categories: documentary, experimental, narrative, and animation. A full slate of films and presentations will be announced soon and available online at www.ohio.edu/orgs/athensfest/. The festival is sponsored by the Athens Center for Film and Video, a project of the College of Fine Arts at Ohio University.
