As the Oxford Film Festival looks to future innovations including teasing their plans to bring the drive-in movie experience to town with OFF to the Drive-In, Oxford FF\u2019s 6th Weekly Virtual Film Fest continues the film festival\u2019s string of strong LGBTQIA+ programming with Li Cheng\u2019s drama JOS\u00c8, a winner of multiple awards including the Queer Lion from the Venice Film Festival<\/strong>, and an encore of Angela Pinaglia\u2019s film LIFE IN SYNCHRO, which follows athletes immersed in the unique world of synchronized skating.<\/p>\n

Friday, May 29 also kicks off the presentation of Oxford Film Festival\u2019s Artist Vodka short film programs. Audience members that tune in to see the three film programs will be able to cast votes and decide which filmmaker will get a check for $15,000. While the rest of the filmmakers will get a split of the ticket sales (continuing the film festival\u2019s pledge to share the proceeds from the weekly film fests this year) one filmmaker will become a big winner with the audience\u2019s help this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cArtist Vodka continues to be such an important part of our film festival by lending a big financial hand to one of our filmmakers as they have in years past,\u201d Oxford Film Festival Executive Director Melanie Addington said. \u201cAnd now our audience members can take a real active part in deciding whose name will go on that big check. It adds a rooting interest to the entertainment each one of these three programs delivers in a major way. I can\u2019t wait to see who is going to win that prize.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nWinner of multiple awards, including the Queer Lion from the 75th Annual Venice Film Festival<\/strong>, JOS\u00c8 is a gripping, layered and beautifully honest story about one working-class young man\u2019s struggle to find himself.
