The Annapolis Film Festival is HERE!

More than 70 films in 6 venues all within walking distance!

Parties, workshops, and hobnobbing with stars, directors, and producers.

There is an African American Experience series. There are shorts and features. There are even several that were made right here in Annapolis.

Over the years, the festival has grown and grown. This year, Director Rob Reiner will be in town for the premiere of LBJ, his latest film.

I could go on and on, but this is just something you need to see.

Buy a single movie ticket or a pass for a day or the entire festival!  This is one ticket you can't afford to miss!

See you at the movies!

Cheers! 
March 30 to April 2
