The COVID-19 virus forced us, like the rest of the world, to change our schedule. Our Opening Weekend at the Philadelphia Film Center was a great success, opening with “Incitement” and followed by “Golda” and “The Art of Waiting”. We are making the other movies available for virtual screenings, a week at a time, during September and October 2020.
