Film / Arts Charlotte Film Society receives grant from Knight Foundation
Posted By Anita Overcash on Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 11:17 AM
Go, Charlotte Film Society! We're sending our congrats out to the organization, a recipient of a $30,000 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. CFS brings indie, foreign, alternative, local and regional flicks to the Q.C. through a variety of series (including Back Alley Film series, a staff pick for CL's Best Of Charlotte this year for "Best Event for Hanging Out with Insatiable Nymphomaniacs, Zombie Cheerleaders and Michael Fassbender in a Giant Fake Head")
The funds will help the organization to host more screenings and to bring filmmakers and directors to Charlotte for discussions. In a press release announcing the grant, Dennis Scholl, vice president of arts for Knight Foundation, said “Film is a powerful way to bring a community together, to discuss issues and ideas that help them understand their lives, city and world. We hope this grant helps build both a sense of community and a community of filmmakers who can tell Charlotte stories.”

The 48 Hour Film Project is a global film celebration that’s been taking place for over a decade, and Charlotte recently became a part of it.
- 48HFP
This year, a whopping 60,000 people in over 120 cities spent a weekend writing, shooting and editing a short film; on the local front, 17 such teams took part, and their finished movies will be screened in competition at 6:50 p.m. this Thursday, Aug. 21. The winning short will be included in the 48HFP’s upcoming Filmapalooza event and have the opportunity to compete for the International Grand Prize (and maybe also screen at Cannes!).
The event will be held in Spirit Square's McGlohon Theater, 345 N. College St. Admission is $10. For more information, go here.
