Lindsey Fest looks back »,Jive years and countin nd the Golden Lion goes to... Well, it isn ' t the Oscars, but it may well be the next best thing. The George Lindsey Film Festival has become a week- long springtime event that gives those of us not in the film industry a glimpse of some of the lesser-known, yet promis- ingly talented, individuals who create independent films. It also gives these talented peo- ple the opportunity to be rec- ognized for their accomplish- ments. The festival was created five years ago by character actor George Lindsey in collab- oration with now-retired jour- nalism professor Bobbie Hurt, who now heads the local film office. Becavise of this impor- tant anniversary, much of the 2002 festival was devoted to reflections on past events and guests such as Ernest Borgnine, Stephen Root, Lucas Black and Ray Stevens. As the festival rolls into the sixth year of its existence, what can we expect for the future? This year Dr. Garry Warren has taken the helm. And founder Lindsey said he was hopeful that the festival in year six would be even bigger and better than those of years past. He said that for the future All roads lead to the film festival. 28
