It is notable for its intimate screenings, filmmaker Q&As, and focus on international, thought-provoking cinema that includes features, shorts, documentaries, and animation from around the world. The festival is a smaller, community-oriented event that serves as a local showcase for emerging and established independent filmmakers rather than a major industry market.
