And just like that, the festival is a wrap. ✨

We are feeling so incredibly happy, grateful, and inspired after such a special few days.

Thank you to everyone who made this festival what it was — our filmmakers, special guests, volunteers, sponsors, film society members, donors, staff, and especially everyone who showed up and filled those seats.

What a community. What a festival. 🎬 We can’t wait to do it again!

There’s nothing quite like watching a film in a full theater, all of us experiencing the same story together. 🎬❤️

Feeling incredibly grateful for this festival, this community, and the magic of the past few days. What a wonderful festival it’s been so far and we can’t wait for one final day tomorrow! ✨
