Even though the Columbus International Film + Video Festival is international by title, it is Columbus based by nature. Columbus movers and locals flock to the annual film and video festival to show their appreciation and love for Ohio films.
The 63rd Annual Columbus International Film + Video Festival is a 10-day long event and begins on Thursday, November 5th. If you are moving to Columbus and this will be your first year attending, there will be 10 movies with Ohio connections showcased during the event, so no matter which day you attend you are likely to catch a local film.
Jeremy Henthorn is the executive director of the festival and explains that, “That’s where the film festival comes in — to showcase independent film, to showcase local film, to give you access to the filmmakers and give you exposure . . . and maybe inspire people here to move forward.”
Some films that will be featured are:
- Krisha – Thursday, November 5th at 7 p.m. at Drexel Theatre
- Mojave – Sunday, November 8th at 7 p.m. at Drexel Theatre
- The Adderall Diaries – Monday, November 9th at 7 p.m. at Drexel Theatre

An entire festival pass is $30. So, you and your family can take a break from your move to Columbus and catch a movie for only $5 per person!
