Friends and colleagues engaged in heated debate about plot lines and cinematic elements over a post-screening dinner on the Downtown Mall. The most important quality of the festival throughout its history has been its sense of community — a bonding of people through film. Amidst a pandemic with many strict safety regulations, this bonding is set to look very different this year. A feeling of togetherness is more desired than ever, and drive-in movies are the festival’s answer.
