FOURTH FILM ANNOUNCED! NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE OF NIGHT-FLY

Join us for a two-hour program of four long-form short films that span documentary, musical, and experimental. Dancing Through Life and Threads seek to document and commemorate the lives of two unsung, extraordinary people. Sumo Road - The Musical comes from director Ken Ochiai who received CDFF's inaugural honorary award. And finally, after making its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival, we are excited to be home to the North American premiere of Aziz Zhambakiyev's visually stunning Night-Fly.
