The UC Davis Film Festival is taking place in a real moviehouse for the first time in the event's eight year history. Showtime is 7 p.m. June 4 and 5 at the Varsity Theatre in Davis.

In another first, this year's festival included a session at which students, prior to submitting their entries, received feedback from faculty with years of film industry experience.

Also for the first time, the grand prize winner will be going to Hollywood to see movies in production.

The Varsity Theatre, 616 Second St., is presenting the festival in association with the Department of Theatre and Dance and the Technocultural Studies Program, plus Film Studies and Art Studio.

All tickets are $5 at the Varsity Theatre box office in advance and at the door.
