True/False Film Fest to host ‘Rites of Spring’ Festival Saturday
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Ragtag Film Society is set to host both online and socially distanced events to commemorate the day The True/False Film Festival would typically kick off.
The 'Rites of Spring' will have virtual events beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday with socially distanced events at the Boone County Courthouse Amphitheater scheduled to begin at noon Saturday.
In-person events include a community fire ritual, group art installation as well as a movie screening.
Other festivities include the third annual True/Love shopping event. Organizers partnered with local retailers and restaurants with 10 percent of Saturday's proceeds going towards supporting True/False.
Rites of Spring will also mark the beginning of an eight-week virtual True/False retrospective series called Hindsight.
The first Hindsight film will screened at a pop-up drive-in at RE/MAX Boone Realty’s parking lot at 7:15 p.m. on Saturday.
Organizers said safety remains a top priority for True/False. Events have been developed in collaboration with the Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services.
