The feature-length film “A Genesis Found” will be a special screening at the Southern Shorts Film Festival Saturday. The film begins at 3:05 p.m. and filmmakers Ben Stark and Lee Fanning will be available after the screening at 5 p.m. for a question-and-answer session, said film festival organizer Alissa Rose-Clark.

“A Genesis Found” is among three special features and one short special presentation screening at the festival Saturday.

The documentary “The Way We Get By” will screen at 6:30 p.m. and “Feast of the Vampires,” a comedy/horror will screen at 9 p.m.

“People should get there early for these showings because they are expected to sell out,” Rose-Clark said.

In addition to the feature films, Southern Shorts will have a special presentation at 2:15 p.m. of the short film “Spirit World of the Shoals,” directed by Thomas Beane.

The festival, which accepted entries of films five to 15 minutes in length, will be from noon-10 p.m. Saturday at Athens State University’s McCandless Hall. Children can attend free from noon-2 p.m. to watch children’s films and animations.

Concessions will be available.

A premiere party will be from 7 to 10:30 Friday night, when the winning entries will be screened at The Club House in downtown Athens. A few tickets remain for the premiere party. Tickets are $35 for one ticket or $60 for two and can be purchased at www.aots-athens.com/film.

Rose-Clark said complimentary Southern food and drinks will be available at the party, including Hickory Barn barbecue, Moon Pies and more. Attendees are encouraged to wear shorts for the Southern Shorts theme, but it is not a requirement.
