Get ready for 60 films from 35 countries over 10 days for one great festival.
Starting this Friday, the 35th annual Filmfest DC returns from June 4 to June 13.
“We would rather be in theaters and we wanted to do it this spring and summer, but there was no clear message about whether movie theaters would open or if people would feel comfortable, so we decided to go virtual again,” Tony Gittens, founder and director of Filmfest DC, told WTOP. “We did two virtual festivals last year with success, so we weren’t too concerned about that.”
He said he was pleasantly surprised by the quality of films in this pandemic year.
