Carrboro Film Festival ‘best ever’

Posted on November 24, 2010November 24, 2010 by Staff
The festival’s Kay Kyser Awards were created by Carrboro artist Mike Roig.

Carrboro – Some 400 people turned out for the 5th annual Carrboro Film Festival, which, according to co-chair Jackie Helvey, was the “best ever.”

“The beginning with the Carrboro High School Marching Band was great and blew the audience away,” Helvey said. “It was exceeded only by the fabulous lineup of films.”

Helvey noted that this year included three foreign films and several “incredibly good” student films.

“We couldn’t have asked for more,” she said. “The animations were amazing, the documentaries were thought-provoking and we even got a few belly laughs.”

Best Professional/Emerging Film went to Finding Marilyn in Castel dell’ Aquila by Hayley Maree Jannesen and Best Student Film went to To Be Remembered by Kelley Katzenmeyer. Audience Awards went to Wolf Call by Rob Underhill and Aravind Ragupathi, and to To Be Remembered.
