Offering a good mix of foreign and independent film, the first Middleburg Film Festival will run from October 24^th through the 27^th, avoiding some of the more obvious choices from this year, in favor of many newcomers. Opening the festival will be Alexander Payne’s Nebraska, starring Will Forte and Bruce Dern. The centerpiece will be Justin Chadwick’s Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom, starring The Wire’s Idris Elba as Nelson Mandela. Other films include Stephen Frears’s Philomena, John Wells’ August: Osage County, and Teller’s Tim’s Vermeer.

Executive Director of the Middleburg Film Festival Susan Koch said, “We are thrilled to present out line up for the first Middleburg Film Festival. Our goal was to curate an engaging slate of films, drawing from the U.S. and abroad and across all genres, that will satisfy casual movie goers and avid film lovers alike. We are grateful for the generous support of our distributors and are looking forward to a glorious weekend of film, music and conversation.”

Middleburg’s film list verifies Koch’s statement. It should have a little bit of something for everyone. Even the independent films on the list look palatable to mainstream audiences, while remaining artistic enough for the hard-core movie scholars. Tickets are now on sale.
