Our programs run about an hour and 45 minutes. We encourage audience members to stay at the close of each show for trophy presentations and a Q&A session with attending filmmakers. And don’t miss your chance to vote for your favorite films in each show on the “Best of the Fest” ballot inserted in your program book.
