THE FINE PRINT
Our festival program is subject to change without notice. Changes will be posted at the venues and on the home page of our website. Most of these films have not been rated by the Motion Picture Industry Association of America. Please read the film descriptions closely before deciding to bring a minor as the majority of films are recommended for mature young adults and older. The exceptions have been listed as Family Friendly in this festival guide. Please turn off all cell phones and pagers during introductions, films and Q&As.
