The festival also includes films by the Durham-based Movie Makers, an organization that allows children to write, direct, act in and produce their own films. “Afraid of the World,” a comedy about anxiety and attrac tion amidst the ever blurring line between fantasy and reality, and “Thought Bubble,” a comedy based on the revealing of a teenager’s private thoughts, were both contributed by the program’s advanced class for older teens. “The Carrboro Film Festival is an amazing opportunity for filmmakers of all ages to come together and share their art,” said Melissa Lozoff, the founder of Movie Makers. “Most film festivals are either for or for kids. It is nice that the Carrboro Film Festival Hftavs and encourages people of all ages.” \ In addition to the 23 films that will be aired in three sepa rate “acts,” this year also marks the introduction of a few new elements to the Festival, designed to make it faore interactive between the filmmakers and the audience. After each block of films, there will be a Q. & A section for the audience to ask questions of the directors. This desire for audience interaction will spill over to the after-party hosted and sponsored by Open Eye Cafo, in order to give the audience a chance to meet and interact with the filmmakers. , ■ *** , “Last year the bubble popped at the end of it and everyone just walked away. This year everyone wanted to mark the end a little more with a party,” Conary said. t This year also features another first: parental advisory. Although the first two blocks of films are appropriate for all ages, Lauterer said some material in the third block has been deemed a little more explicit and graphic and might be “a little unsuitable for children.” But organizers don’t think that will take away from die celebration of local creativity.
