What a night on Friday. We are deeply moved by the films and the filmmakers who attended The Bishop for our 2026 Friday program. BUT we aren’t even close to done yet.

Here is a montage of our programming showing TONIGHT at The Bishop. Come watch these amazing miracles (every film is a tiny miracle) of cinema from our local, regional, and international filmmakers.

Byron Jordan Wolter might even have a drink 🥃 token for you! Maybs… 🤔 👀
