About the Festival

Odds & Ends is an experimental film festival located in Charlottesville, Virginia. The 3rd annual festival will be held February 21-22, 2025 at the Vinegar Hill Theatre and is presented by Light House Studio.

We seek films and videos that push formal and conceptual boundaries, allowing for multiple ways of understanding and interpretation. We aim to celebrate a diverse range of films that work across modes and genres, addressing the materiality of the medium from poetic, personal, or political perspectives. We welcome everyone, especially innovative works by emerging filmmakers who work outside of commercial structures.

Rachel Lane

  • She is a filmmaker whose work indulges in the impossible and the unknowable, exploring these fields as productive sites for play and wild flights of imagination. Allowing truth to be unstable and knowledge to be indeterminate, her work “stays with the trouble” of the impossible and the unknowable. Grounded in an experimental ethos, her practice spans film, video, animation, sculpture, and installation. In her time-based work, the form of each project is determined by the subject and the intersecting frameworks of documentary, narrative, essay, and poetic film practices. Her films have been screened internationally, including Prismatic Ground Film Festival, Kasseler DokFest, Chicago Underground Film Festival, San Diego Underground Film Festival, and Big Sky Documentary Film Festival. She was awarded the Jury prize for Best International Work at the 2017 WNDX Festival, and nominated for the Golden Key award at the 2017 Kasseler DokFest. She holds an MFA in Film & Video from the California Institute of the Arts and now teaches Film and Foundations at the University of Virginia.

  • He is an artist and educator. Formerly the Program Director at Light House Studio, he is currently an associate professor of digital art at The University of Mary Washington. Jason is excited for everyone to see the talented lineup of experimental films in the Odds & Ends program!

  • She creates and teaches film programs in the Charlottesville community as the Program Director at Light House Studio. She loves teaching, learning, and collaborating with others through creative storytelling. Rachel earned her BA in studio art from the University of Virginia, where she concentrated her art practice in cinematography and new media. She received her MFA in film, video, animation and new genres from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and had the opportunity to teach film courses at UW-Milwaukee and the University of Virginia before joining the Light House Studio team. She can’t wait to share more fantastic experimental films with the Charlottesville community through the Odds & Ends film festival!
