The Lake Placid Film Festival returns for its 24th year November 7-10. The Film Festival hosts a wide variety of events, including panels and workshops for industry professionals and tons of movies for any and all to enjoy! Here's a quick guide for what the average movie buff can enjoy on Friday of this four-day film extravaganza!
Friday is a busy day at the film festival! Check out the Your Shorts Are Showing judged short film competition at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts (LPCA) and carve out time for some of the three feature films playing at the Palace Theatre later in the day! Get your heart pumping at the BETA Double Feature: In The Dirt & Descendance, an exciting outdoor sports experience highlighting mountain biking and backcountry skiing. Don't miss your very own Hollywood moment at the Red Carpet Cocktail event, featuring conversation and Q&A with industry elites Jonathan Burkhart, Jacob Krueger, and Jill Burkhart.
