Fairhope launched its first film festival in April 2008, according to WKRG.
The three-day event planned to show 15 movies, each selected for a romance element. Festival director Ryan Robinson said organizers sought well-made independent films, including features, documentaries and shorts.
Screenings included question-and-answer sessions with creators, and the festival offered local audiences a rare opportunity to see independent work with the filmmakers involved.
This is a historical summary of a 2008 local arts report. Festival programming and operations may have changed.
