Think film festivals and you immediately think California, New York, Cannes, Sundance... well, Ohio has some pretty interesting film festivals as well. One of the most frequently overlooked elements for first-time film festival attendees coming in from out of town, is forgetting to reserve hotel rooms and airline tickets in advance. One thing to remember is that there are a limited number of hotels in many of the areas, so if you plan to stay in town, book early!

The Columbus International Film Festival was founded in 1952, by the late Dr. Edgar Dale, Professor Emeritus of The Ohio State University and other professionals interested in promoting the use of 16mm motion pictures. Since its inception, the object of the Film Festival has been to encourage and promote the use of media in all forms of education and communication, not only in the local community but throughout the world. During these many years of continuous operation, the Festival has honored thousands of film and video producers. The Festival has grown in scope, becoming international in 1972, in the late 80's adding video, and in 1997 adding the CD ROM format. In 2004 the Festival added DVDs to its list of accepted formats.
The Chris Awards, which the Film Festival bestows upon outstanding entries, are recognized world wide as an indication of excellence and are highly sought after by producers and directors.

The Oxford International Film Festival was created by independent film and event Director/Producer JC SCHRODER in the spring of 2006. Realizing that there was no major outlet for filmmakers or audiences in the region, and no major film festival to speak of -- Schroder began building support for what would become the first, largest and only major film festival in the region. The festival is held in late July at the Savannah Center in West Chester, Ohio.
