The Albany FilmFest will take place in Alameda on Friday, Feb. 8, at Rhythmix Cultural Works on Blanding.

The event is a juried festival of short films made by emerging independent local and national filmmakers of all ages.

“This family-friendly special selection is a quirky and eclectic mix of animated, narrative, and documentary shorts highlighting winners and favorite films from the past two years,” according to event organizers.

The third-annual Albany FilmFest is also coming to Albany on Saturday March 2.

There will be (free) popcorn for all guests.
