As of this past weekend, Durham's newly renovated Carolina Theatre played host the to the world premier of the most recent film to make it to the big screen that was shot in Durham, Main Street. Critical acclaim or not, success or not, it's production brought revenue to the community and exposure to the destination. The Carolina's renovations, however, are a hit and include both cosmetic as well as functional enhancements resulting in a more user-friendly and luxurious experience. A return visit is in order for those who've not been recently.
Below is a list of film festivals and series held in Durham annually, and each are linked to their respective websites to make seeing them easy to plan. Coming up this weekend is the Escapism Film Festival, and it looks to be exactly that - a great escape.
