Rich supporting events include a talk with the director of the Harvard Film Archive, a cinematography master class, and conversations with the audience.

A wide range of genres—including documentaries and experimental films—are submitted in large numbers, quickly establishing the festival as a major platform for the independent film scene. The works selected for the main competition will be announced on the 30th.
