Watch at Home
We anxiously await the time when we can reconnect in person; however, we are also grateful that through the power of film we still have the ability to connect with the world around us. Whether you feel like diving in deep with a documentary or completely escaping with your umpteenth viewing of your favorite rom-com, movies allow us to connect – emotionally, intellectually, and empathetically. To help enrich your quarantine time we have pulled together a list of films from past festivals that are available to view online.
