The eighth annual ReadingFilmFEST will showcase over 70 films from around the corner and across the globe starting Thursday and running through next Sunday at GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, Eunice and Albert Boscov Theatre and R/C Reading Movies 11 & IMAX Theater.
This year’s festival includes independent and student films, LUNAFEST (a traveling festival featuring films by and about women supported by Reading AAUW), a presentation of Rocky Horror Picture Show with a live shadow-cast, special programs at Alvernia University CollegeTowne and Penn State Berks and the return of Pulitzer Prize-winner and Tony nominee Lynn Nottage and Emmy winner Tony Gerber to the Miller Center at RACC with a screening of the documentary “This Is Reading,” and a discussion of the impact of the arts on community development.
The festival is the crowning effort for ReadingFilm’s season, and just part of the mission of the organization, according to ReadingFilm Executive Director Cammie Harris.
