Ballston Spa Film Festival 2015

zepo short film still

One of the films on the schedule is Zepo by César Díaz Meléndez, which was animated with sand. Here's a making-of video.

The Ballston Spa Film Festival is back this Friday and Saturday in the eponymous village. As in years past, the "open air, bring your own chair" festival screens a family-friendly slate of short films. Blurbage for this year:

This year's festival will present 45 short films, ranging in length from 1 to 14 minutes each. The films come from young filmmakers, emerging student filmmakers and established (but still emerging) filmmakers. Submissions to this established, local film festival arrive from across the country as well as all over the globe. Many of the films have won awards at other film festivals, while some will be making their world premier at the Ballston Spa Film Festival.

Here's the list of film slates and the schedule. The films are shown at two sites: Ballston Spa High School and Old Iron Spring Park. And it's free.

AOA is a media sponsor of the Ballston Spa Film Festival.
