SUMMARY:Saratoga Film Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $100 (2-Day Festival Pass) \n** Click Here to Purchase Tickets ** \n  \nThe Saratoga Film Showcase is a weekend-long exhibition of the newest generation of filmmakers\, and a celebration of their work in our region and beyond. Hosted by Putnam Place\, SFS will offer audiences a comprehensive glimpse into locally produced cinema\, as well as an opportunity to connect with the artists. The showcase will feature special guest Brit McAdams and his debut feature “Paint” starring Owen Wilson and shot right here in Saratoga Springs. Accompanying this exclusive offering will be several blocks of short films and panel discussions that explore the impact of filming on upstate communities\, choreography in film\, shooting upstate vs. New York City\, boundary pushing narratives\, and much more. SFS is a nonprofit endeavor\, collaborated on by a multitude of local organizations such as Saratoga Arts\, Discover Saratoga\, Saratoga Living\, 518 Film Network\, and more. The event is volunteer-run\, and all proceeds will be donated to a scholarship fund for teens to attend Art Week this summer at local nonprofit Camp Stomping Ground. \nHeadliner\n \nPaint stars Owen Wilson as Carl Nargle\, Vermont’s #1 public television painter who is convinced he has it all: a signature perm\, custom van\, and fans hanging on his every stroke… until a younger\, better artist steals everything (and everyone) Carl loves. \nShot predominately in and around Saratoga Springs\, Paint is the perfect centerpiece for an event that aims to demonstrate the potential of filmmaking in our region. Writer/Director and special guest Brit McAdams used notable Saratoga locations such as the Lincoln Bathhouse\, Olde Bryan Inn\, and Desperate Annie’s to truly capture the beauty and charm of our city. Join us in celebrating Saratoga’s representation in Hollywood\, and chatting with the man who brought it to town. \nShort Films\n \nShort films from the Capital Region and beyond are screened across three sessions throughout the weekend\, each with its own unique theme. Want to explore films shot in recognizable local locations? What about projects that cleverly incorporate dance? Or stories that intentionally push narrative boundaries? We’ve got it all. Come meet the new era of filmmakers\, and see what they’re ushering in. \nPanels\nWitness discussions that expand on the themes that inspired the programmed shorts. Explore dance’s role in film with local choreographers that have designed for both screen and stage. Hear location managers’ perspective on what makes the Capital Region such an enticing place to make movies in. There’s plenty to talk about; come be part of the conversation. \nSchedule\nFriday\, January 17th \n7:00pm – Shorts After Dark \n9:00pm – Welcome Party \n  \nSaturday\, January 18th \n9:30am – Local Locations Shorts \n11:30am – Shooting Upstate Panel \n12:30pm – Lunch Break \n2:00pm – Dance Shorts \n4:00pm – Choreography in Film Panel \n7:00pm – Headliner Feature: Paint w/special guest Brit McAdams (@ Scene One Wilton Mall Cinemas) \n9:30pm – Closing Night Party \n  \nAll proceeds of this event will go towards scholarships to send kids to Arts Fest this summer at Camp Stomping Ground \n  \nThe Saratoga Film Showcase aims to inspire the creation of more art in our community\, and is proud to donate all profits to Camp Stomping Ground to continue making art more accessible to our youth. \nMore info about the camp can be found here:  https://campstompingground.org
