And the Winners of the Clifton Film Fest Are…

The 5th Annual Clifton Film Fest was attended by more than 300 people on Saturday at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton. 

"This year was a milestone since it was the fifth year and all of the films over those years have improved so much," said festival founder Dani Weinberg. "We had a great crowd that was into the films and really enjoyed themselves watching, eating BBQ and ices and the band, pearl and the beard, was really incredible that opened. Overall it was a successful year with great weather and an amazing turnout."

The day of independent films featured food from Uncle Fred's BBQ smoke shack, an Ice cream truck and live music from the band "Pearl and the Beard".
