Frankfort Film Festival Gets Rolling

Oct. 15, 2022

Movie buffs, head toward the western lakeshore this weekend for the 14th annual Frankfort Film Festival. The festival runs from Oct. 20-23 with films on the big screen at the 99-year-old Garden Theater right in the heart of downtown. Fifteen documentaries and works of fiction—playing in English and subtitled foreign languages—are on the watch list, plus the top three winners from the local Frankfort48 Film Contest for aspiring short filmmakers. Highlights from the lineup include Flee, an Oscar nominee and Sundance winner about a man on the verge of marriage; The Worst Person in the World, also an Oscar nominee for Best International Feature Film; and Parallel Mothers, starring Penelope Cruz, who won best actress for the role at the 2021 Venice Film Festival. (And we’d be remiss if we didn’t give a shout-out to chameleon Nicolas Cage in Pig.) Learn more about each film, watch trailers, and get tickets at gardentheater.org/frankfort-film-festival-copy.
