After missing out on a proper showcase last year, the 2020 entries to the Red Rose Film Festival will finally get their due beginning in June.
Beginning June 3 and running every Thursday until Oct. 28, entries to last year s festival will screen at Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse. After the first showing, directors of various films will be on hand for an audience Q&A session.
Tickets to The 2020 Collection are free, though attendees are encouraged to donate to the festival. According to festival executive director Ryan Shank, the Red Rose Film Festival will return to in-person screenings in 2022.Â
The announcement of these screenings follow a slate of films and events returning to Zoetropolis, including the recent 2020 Oscar winner Minari, First Friday Fright Night horror movies and a slate of other independent films.
The organizers of the Lancaster Story Slam recently announced that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 season will take place virtually.
Installments will be held on Zoom, at 7 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month. Registration is required to attend the virtual events. Tickets are available on a pay-what-you-can basis and any proceeds will cover the cost of productions and go to Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse.
The seventh season of Story Slam kicks off Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. The theme is âOverdue.â
The Lancaster Story Slam moved to a virtual model last March. Storytellers gathered in-person, distanced and masked, at Zoetropolis in November for the 2020 Grand Slam event. The theme was âSilver Liningsâ and Steve McLean took top honors for sharing a story about finding a silver lining in losing his husband of nearly 40 years.Â
