Jubilee Kicks off the 2015 True/False Film Festival

The True/False Film Festival began Thursday night with the Jubilee at the Missouri Theater.  True/False ticketholders were treated to a wide array of complementary wines, cocktails and beers from all over Missouri while local musicians performed.

          

Volunteer Caitlyn Gallip said though the festival has grown, the Jubilee proved that True/False stays true to its local roots.

“True/False is kind of a locally grown festival,” said Gallip.  “So they try to use as much mid-Missouri or Columbia-based businesses whenever they do celebrations.”

Gallip said the main purpose of the Jubilee is to celebrate the beginning of the festival and show the gratitude to loyal ticketholders.

However despite all the free delicacies offered at the Jubilee, Donna Buchert said her favorite part is the new faces.

“I just love the fact that there are thirty thousand people in town that I don’t know, and you hear the dialects from all over the world,” said Buchert.  “It’s a great time in Columbia, Missouri.  You need to enjoy the community and the spirit of documentary theater.”

The festival will feature films all weekend long at various venues in downtown Columbia.  A full list of scheduled events is available on True/False’s website. We also have interviews with many of the directors as part of our True/False Conversations.
