The Lake Michigan Film Festival is returning to East Lansing.
For over 20 years, The Lake Michigan Film Festival has highlighted films either made in, about, or by filmmakers from Michigan and Lake Michigan surrounding states.
40 films will be screened, with $1,200 in cash prizes for multiple categories, including best feature film, best documentary, best short film, and best student film.
Jennifer White is on the board of directors at ELFF. She says the Lake Michigan Film Festival is a unique chance to connect with neighbors.
"It's a really fun thing to experience coming to a film festival," White said. "You're gonna see something different; you're gonna see something you wouldn't see on TV at a regular movie theater. And again, you're mingling with people from your community."
The Festival starts February 29th at 7 p.m. at the Hannah Community Center in East Lansing and continues March 1st through 3rd at Studio C in Okemos.
You can see the whole lineup of films on the East Lansing Film Festival website.
