See you at the movies!

How lucky are Asheville cinephiles? This fine, movie-loving city has not just one but two film fests coming its way.

The Asheville Film Festival, now in its sixth year, features four days of movies and events in the heart of downtown. There are feature films, documentaries, short films, the latest movies by famed directors, receptions and much, much more.

Down in the River Arts District, the Asheville Rejects Film Festival is also holding its annual bash, drawing from some movies that the city fest passed on.

The winner between these dueling festivals is you, dear reader, as you can sample the delights of both, see whichever films tickle your fancy, rub shoulders with movie-industry veterans.

Of course, we’ve got all the details, including the story on the movies, our critics’ picks, schedules, film summations and anything else you need to find your way around both events.

So buy a ticket, grab some popcorn, find a seat and enjoy.
