Oswego, NY – Independent film enthusiasts in Central New York will have 140 films to choose from over the next four days. The Syracuse International Film and Video Festival begins today and runs through May 2. Husband-and-wife team Owen Shapiro and Christine Fawcett have been working behind the scenes for two years to create the festival. WRVO's Skye Rohde spoke with Fawcett.

WRVO is at a critical moment.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
