Film Days Team Reports Success

That’s a wrap! Glimmerglass Film Days, a program of Otsego 2000, presented 28 film screenings, filmmaker talks, the art exhibit “Future Memory” at The Smithy, trivia, themed dinners and parties, and guided walks November 9-13. We filled 2,725 seats over five days. Some people attended more than a dozen films and events. The sense of community and great discussions inspired by the films are why Otsego 2000 started Film Days, and why we will continue to do so. Many thanks to our sponsors and partners who make Film Days possible. The program team of Peggy Parsons, Xander Moffat and Joey Katz did a great job selecting films that otherwise would not be available to our community. Along with the program team, Film Days Steering Committee members are: JoAnn Gardner, Erik Stengler, Sydney Waller, Peter Rutkoff, Jim LaCava, Van Broughton Ramsey, Ellen Pope, and Peg Odell. Also thanks to Jennifer Armstrong, the Film Days volunteers, and our interns, India Futterman, Evan Moats, and Micaela Wallace. Thank you to artists Megan Adams Irving, Ava Fedorov, and Ashley Norwood Cooper, whose work was featured in the Film Days companion art exhibit, and to festival caterer Mel’s at 22. Plan to join us for the 12th season of Glimmerglass Film Days in November 2024.
