We have so many great rare disease films to show. It could get a bit confusing since two screenings often happen at the same time.
Some slates of films are not listed yet, and might not be listed here when tickets first go on sale.

Note: stated run times of each slate refer to the time for screening the films and do not include the 10-15 of filmmakers remarks which will follow many slates of our films.
