For the last eight years, we’ve brought four of our favorite Heartland International Film Festival films back to the beautiful Historic Artcraft Theatre (est. 1922) in Franklin, Indiana. This year, we are still partnering with The Artcraft, but virtually! From Friday, March 26, through Sunday, March 28, you can watch all of these incredible films and filmmaker Q&As at home on your own time!

We’ve also added a special video to give you a behind-the-scenes look at The Artcraft with Executive Director Rob Shilts. Tickets are $12 for each virtual screening. Proceeds will be split between Heartland Film, The Historic Artcraft Theatre and the participating filmmakers. Thanks for your support, and happy festing!
