Saturday Night, February 18, the Oxford Film Festival celebrated the 20th Anniversary of Kevin Smith’s CHASING AMY with a special screening at the Gertrude Ford Performing Arts Center. Joey Lauren Adams was a late scratch as was a planned Skype interview with Smith, but a handful of Oxford Film Fest filmmakers hit the carpet for photos and to talk about their films and the film festival.
