Now in its third year, the Ely Film Festival is a wholesale celebration of culture from around the intermountain West. For three days, the festival is set to host 12 motion pictures filmed in and around the town, a short film contest, local art, and a night of live music featuring Hollywood’s best soundtracks. This year’s short film contest is themed “Time Travel” and will feature regional talent— including local students—competing to take home the prize in three age categories. The Art Bank—a historic bank-turned-art gallery—also joins the festival this year with an impressive array of works from around the Great Basin. The celebration will take place in Ely’s Historic Central Theater. Built in the 1930s, this building is one of Nevada’s oldest Art Deco-style cinemas.
