It’s clear the George Lindsey UNA Film Festival is held in the best location possible. We’ve already sang the praises of Florence and the rest of the Shoals, but for those wanting to stretch their legs during the festival without straying too far, the University of North Alabama is a destination in its own right. Topping the list of favorite attractions is our lions. Yes, I said lions, live ones. UNA’s live mascots, Leo and UNA, live on campus and their habitat is a favorite stop for visitors. Just across from the lions is Collier Library, where the university’s archives and special collections are housed. In addition to a large collection of George Lindsey’s scripts and memorabilia, we are fortunate to have a collection of scripts and documents from such notable artists as Lucas Black and Ray Bradbury, as well as the very special collection of bound scripts gifted to the university by George’s great friend Ernest Borgnine. After leaving the library, you can stroll past Wesleyan Hall, where General Sherman housed his troops during the Civil War, and you may even run into one of the ghosts said to reside on campus. The Lindsey Festival is fortunate to call UNA home, and we are proud to share it with you.
