Films, food, music, and dance!
Come experience the glam of the 1920s film industry. Watch the exciting awards presentation of this year's Public Domain Film Festival, where you'll watch the ten finalist entries, vote on the Audience Choice award, and see teams win thousands of dollars in prizes!
After the awards ceremony, step onto the blue carpet and into the afterparty, where food, live music, dancing, a 1920s costume contest, and photo ops await you. Mingle with the teams and judges and soak up the ambiance. It'll be a night to remember, and we want you with us!
Tickets are free, but required, and include admission to the film screening and awards presentation in the Varsity Theater and entry for the after party in the Garden Court in the Wilkinson Center. Ticket reservations will open at a later date.
