For Filmmakers and Film Fans
It’s Been 10 Years: How It Started/How It’s Going, a panel with filmmaker Chris Everett

Saturday, May 11, 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Demonstration Gallery (lobby level).

 

Longleaf launched in May 2015 as one element of the popular museum exhibit Starring North Carolina!. Now, looking back at the ten years since, it’s time to think about what has changed, what has remained the same, and what lies ahead for independent filmmaking in North Carolina, and beyond.

Join Chris Everett, artistic director of the Southern Documentary Fund—and Longleaf Film Festival award winner—in a panel of other filmmakers that’s sure to become a lively discussion ranging from the impact and lasting legacy of the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement to how we can use—and guard against—AI in filmmaking to projects that surprised us with their reach?  And So. Much. More.
