• Reception for Filmmakers and Friends, with entertainment provided by the North Carolina Film Orchestra

We regret that we cannot accommodate everyone, but remember our Wrap Party Saturday evening: we’ll have plenty of space there.
• Movies-N-Moonlight, our first outdoor screen block!
  Like all our film blocks, this one is free; but it’s also outside, bathed in moonlight!  Let us know you’re coming—some seating will be provided, or bring your own as a guarantee.  Note: While the independent films screened are not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), most would fall within the PG-13 range.  Friday, May 11, 8:30–10 p.m.
• Women in Film, North Carolina Style, our morning panel for filmmakers and film fans, with women filmmakers Kelly Creedon, Lana Garland, Nicolle Jones, and Camden Watts; moderated by Beth Yerxa

• Wrap Party!
  That’s a wrap!  This is a FREE public reception for friends, family members, and other supporters of filmmakers and Longleaf at Oak & Dagger Public House.
