5Point Film Festival is proud to announce the launch of its inaugural short film and recreation festival on August 14 and 15 at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium.
Join in on this two-day celebration of art, outdoor community and short adventure films. This is the best (and only) ‘film concert’ experience including special guests, live performance, and a few surprises, that only 5Point knows how to deliver.
Daytime events include free community parties leading into 2 evenings of 10-16 short adventure films each night at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium. Each film program will begin at 7pm and lasts 3 hours. Coming to a 5Point Film Program is a unique experience, more like a film ‘concert’ than a typical film event. We don’t want to give it all away here, but if you enjoy the element of surprise, live performance, and an emotional ride through inspiring film and performance… than this is for you!
