The rest of the distinctive lineup will be presented virtually, including
Summer of Soul, part music, part historical record film on the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival;
Spark Brothers, about the underrated, criminally ignored yet influential 50-year-old rock band; and
Dear Mr. Brody, profiling Michael Brody, the hippie millionaire who in 1970 announced a $25 million giveaway to anyone in need, as his bid to promote world peace. As usual, the festival is offering a few LGBTQ films, all of which are worth seeking out.
Military tale
The star of this lot is
Surviving the Silence, already a candidate for one of the best queer documentaries of the year. In 1992, decorated Army Nurse Colonel Pat Thompson, just two years away from retirement, was asked to preside over the military review board that would dismiss Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer for admitting she was a lesbian. This assignment caused Thompson personal agony since she too was a (closeted) lesbian having lived privately

COST: Tickets for most movies are $10; $11 for special presentations; $75 fest pass
The revised summer fest became a virtual event with some in-person screenings at Tibbs Drive-In. Organizers felt it was successful enough to employ a similar format for 2021, the 18th year. Fans can watch most films anytime using the online portal along with filmmaker Q&As and other events, with special events at Tibbs.
One big change is the festival will now last three weeks instead of 10 days, though some films will only be available during the first week.
âWeâre taking some of our lessons learned from last yearâs experience and applying them to this year,â Berfanger said. One thing they wanted to do is return to their traditional springtime slot â but that also meant three fewer months to plan.
Coming soon to both Tibbs Drive-In and directly to your couch.

There’s two parts to a film festival: The films and the festival. I’ll get to the films in a minute.
The festival part is a challenge even for an organization as nimble as Indy Film Fest. Thanks to the killjoy COVID-19, it would be irresponsible to mingle in theater lobbies swapping notes on what to see and what to avoid. There’s no amortizing a biggie-size popcorn over a long day of multiple viewings. Schmoozing with directors and on-screen talent isn’t quite the same via Zoom.
