Rockaway Film Festival #3
October 21st - 25th, 2020
Virtual
TRANSMISSSION 2020:
Rockaway Film Festival was formed to bring movie-lovers together from across the peninsula. We esteem those special places where people are held collectively captive in the dark, attention surrendered to the screen. This year, the pandemic has forced us to reconsider how cinema spaces can take shape and we have embraced the internet’s capacity for remote connection. For five days this October, we will broadcast a sequence of films guided by isolation and escapism, representing where our attention has been directed and redirected in 2020. The program is rooted in Rockaway and gripped by the current moment of our nation and planet.
