shareFilmmakers in attendance. Film program will be followed by Q&A.
Six films told with unapologetic sincerity that invite you to share a laugh, shed a tear, or even get a little angry. Bleakness looms over young people unable to move forward while physical displacement challenges others, and, when finding themselves in front of the ones we want to say the most to, characters find it hard to get the words out. In the midst of these paralyzing challenges, something deep inside is screaming to be expressed.
