The Ashland Independent Film Festival celebrated its 25 th anniversary late last month, a nice round number to celebrate and a good excuse to take stock of the way the event has rebounded from tumultuous times. Those tumults, as were so many endured by film fests and other arts organizations, derived largely (but not entirely) from the coronavirus pandemic and associated lockdowns, and AIFF's future was, at times, seriously in doubt.
