There wasn t a moment last weekend I wasn t either watching a movie, talking about movies, or thinking about movies. It was one of the busiest weeks to date for the Arkansas film community with film events scheduled by the University of Central Arkansas, the Arkansas Cinema Society, and Made In Arkansas.
The Eureka Springs City Auditorium hosts the 75th Original Ozark Folk Festival Thursday-Saturday, including a free daytime Folk Faire during the day and ticketed headliners each night.
Fall is rapidly approaching, and anyone living in a college town knows what that means: the smell of pumpkin spiced coffees is permeating the air, students are loitering the parks playing disc golf while waiting for the leaves to change, and specifically in Conway young, wide-eyed freshmen are trying hard to understand how to navigate all the city s roundabouts. But the thing I look forward to the most, is when all the universities release their lists of Artists in Residence. This year the film department at the University of Central Arkansas has a couple of heavy hitting visiting artists.
