The winning films of the 7th annual Macon Film Festival will have another day to shine. The 2012 Macon Film Festival Winner Showcase is set for Saturday, April 28th at the Cox Capitol Theatre. The event will run from 1p until 9p.
The “mini” film festival will feature encore screenings of the winning films from the
2012 festival. Films will be screened from the various competition categories
including documentary, animation, experimental, narrative short, narrative
feature and student films. Many of the films featured in the showcase have
already begun to screen at other independent film festivals to audiences around
the country.
“After the success of the 2012 festival the film board is excited at the opportunity
to share these award winning films again with our festival audience” said Tabitha
Lynne Walker, Macon Film Festival President. “Whether you had the chance to
see them during the festival or are coming back to catch some of the films you
might have missed this is the perfect opportunity to watch more independent
films on the big screen.”

The Macon Film Festival, funded in part by a generous grant from The John S and James L Knight Foundation, was created to celebrate the art of the moving image and to give up-and-coming filmmakers an opportunity to showcase their work in Central Georgia. The diverse subject matter of independent films, ranging from innocent to provocative to very adult in nature, offers something for everyone and provides local movie buffs the opportunity to see films that will likely never be shown at Macon movie theatres.
