Greetings from Savannah! As the autumn leaves begin to fall and the air turns crisp, film buffs and TV enthusiasts alike are gearing up for an **exciting weekend**. The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) has unveiled plans for its first-ever TV Sidebar during the highly anticipated SCAD Savannah Film Festival. This dynamic collaboration with Deadline is aimed at spotlighting the **artistic renaissance** happening in the world of episodic storytelling, and it’s all happening very soon!
Highlighting Stellar Television Productions
The festival, which runs from November 1 to November 2, promises a **fantastic lineup** of screenings and events that showcase some of the best of what the television world has to offer today. Among the featured productions are Marvel Television’s beloved series Agatha All Along, HBO’s critically acclaimed Somebody Somewhere, and the new adaptation of Cruel Intentions set to make a splash this fall. Sounds good, right?
Fans of Kathryn Hahn won’t want to miss the **Spotlight Award ceremony** on November 2, where she’ll be honored during a screening of *Agatha All Along*. This series, where Hahn reprises her role as the enigmatic Agatha Harkness from *WandaVision*, has captivated audiences with its unique charm. For those who may need a reminder, Hahn’s stellar performance in *WandaVision* even snagged her a 2021 Emmy nomination. Talk about talent!
A Peek at the Programming
The excitement continues with a screening of the third and final season of *Somebody Somewhere*. This warm-hearted show features comedian and singer Bridget Everett as Sam, a woman navigating the complexities of life in her Kansas hometown while trying to find her place in the world. After the screening on November 1, you can stick around for a Q&A session featuring not just Everett, but the show’s co-creators and talented cast members. It’s a great opportunity to dive deeper into the creative minds behind this beloved series!
And let’s not overlook the fresh twist on *Cruel Intentions*. This new series adaptation, set in the high-stakes world of an elite D.C. college, follows a pair of ruthless step-siblings battling it out to maintain their position in the social hierarchy. The first episode will screen on November 2, with its cast participating in a Q&A session post-show. Seems like there’s plenty to look forward to!
More than Just Screenings
Of course, the SCAD Savannah Film Festival isn’t just about the films. It’s a vibrant celebration of all things cinema! With more than 63,000 attendees expected this year, the festival will provide a rich tapestry of events including workshops, panels, and discussions that delve into the ins and outs of the filmmaking process.
