The 51st annual USA Film Festival returns to the Angelika Film Center in Dallas for in-person screenings April 21-25. The USA Film Festival is one of the oldest film festivals in the U.S. It was the first festival to devote itself to the American filmmaker back in 1970, and today presents over 50 days of diverse programs every year.
“We are so glad to be able to celebrate Dallas Arts Month and bring our program to the community,” says USAFF Managing Director Ann Alexander. “With support from our Sponsors, this year’s program will be presented as all-free-admission. We know that a lot of people are experiencing financial challenges and that people have missed being able to get out to a theater and see a movie. We wanted to present a diverse and accessible program,” she added.
