The ninth annual Snake Alley Festival of Film has been delayed due to coronavirus.
The four-day festival, consisting of dozens of short films from around the world, was originally scheduled for June.
Festival director Tadd Good announced the postponement via Facebook. The short film extravaganza will now take place from July 30 through Aug. 2, and will still be held at The Capitol Theater.
“The health and safety of our audience members, filmmakers, and staff remain our top priority as we continue to pursue our mission to showcase the best short films and screenplays from around the world,” Good said in the post.
Previous iterations of the event have hosted from 80 to over 100 short films, screened in all-day film blocks. The festival always culminates in an award ceremony on the final night.
