If you find yourself in Greenville this weekend – or if you need a good excuse to book a little Airbnb getaway – there’s a *reely* cool film festival going down at the Peace Center’s Gunter Theatre: the Countybank Reedy Reels Film Festival. They’re showing 37 films, all created by indie Upstate filmmakers – some are heartwarming, some are heartbreaking; all of them will make you think.

A few films that sound especially cool:

📽 Reconstructing Hawthorne (26 min.) | Find out the story of Hawthorne, which was once a small community in Aiken County – but the residents were forced out during the construction of the Savannah River Site in 1950.

📽 Tinker (96 min.) | A recluse farmer discovers his late father’s hidden journal that contains plans to build an electro-magnetic machine with technology uncovered from Nikola Tesla’s research.

📽 We Were Just There (8 min.) | Set in the streets of Paris, this film was shot in real-time, showing an improvised scene of a couple’s final goodbye.

See the full schedule here.
