CULTURE IS COMMUNITY

We all have something to share

The VCA is committed to the inclusion of the arts in everyday public life. We host, support, and promote events aimed at entertaining and enriching our community, from film showings to nature hikes. It's how (and why) we #LOVermillion.

Fool’s 48 sends March out with a roar (of laughter)

Twelve teams entered the foolish fray of attempting to write, shoot, and edit a 4–7 minute movie in just 48 hours and ten completed the challenge! Monday, March 31, a sold-out celebrated with a showcase of their work on the big screen at the Coyote Twin. The audience was by turns startled, delighted, scared (!), and charmed.

Watch the showcase now for yourself, and support your friends and neighbors again when the whole Fool’s 48 showcase airs on the big screen once more during the second-annual Vortex Film Festival in September.
