Area filmmaking celebrated at Case festival

What does Auburn have in common with Cannes, France, and Sundance, Colo.?

Aside from the beautiful scenery, a film festival. And while the aforementioned events have become star-clogged schmooze-fests, Auburn's Theodore Case Film Festival celebrates achievements in moviemaking by citizens from its own area.

This Saturday, the Auburn Public Theater will show 23 of the finest short films by amateurs of all ages. The number was narrowed down from 53 submissions.
