Please join us at the bar at the Sie Film Center for a social hour before viewing the opening night screening, curated by our Executive Director and Curator, Sharifa Lafon.

For the opening night program, you’ll experience a glimpse into the films featured throughout the festival. This sampler captures the essence of our theme, Welcome to the Here and Now, showcasing the very best of our innovative and boundary-pushing selections, fostering a conversation about the medium and trends over the last two years.
