The Rozsa Center stage plays host to a different kind of entertainment beginning Thursday. The popular theatre venue puts up a screen and welcomes some of the best film has to offer. 41 North Film Festival Director Dr. Erin Brown says she likes to make the event interactive.
Another movie that Brown is excited about covers a news story from 2018 that garnered international attention.
Brown says that the goal of 41 North is to show award winning films that have been on the festival circuit across the country at high profile venues like Tribeca or Sundance, and exposing local audiences to movies they wouldn’t have the chance to see in person otherwise. As such, the format doesn’t have in place a system to judge the entries by audience members or a local panel of experts. The festival is free to the public.
Many film festival entries are available now through streaming services, but Brown doesn’t believe that offers the same viewing experience.
More information about 41 North can be found at the festival’s website.
