Connecting with audiences across the region
This season, the Southern Circuit of Independent Filmmakers returned to an exclusively in-person touring format after two years of online screenings and conversations. Our communities were eager to reunite with powerful stories and topics as well as engaging with the filmmaking process!
The Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers connects independent filmmakers with communities throughout the South for screenings and conversations around stories, important topics, and the art of filmmaking. Filmmakers share their experiences touring for the 2022-2023 season.
