“The festival’s feature film, “Parasite,” is intriguing – not only because the director begged journalists not to write about all the twists and surprises in the movie – but also because it defies genre labels,” says Russ Minter, GBC Film Festival Chair. He notes that reviews have been stellar with the New York Film Critics naming it the “Best Film of the Year.” This movie will be shown Friday, Feb. 21 at the GBC Theater.
Oscar-nominated documentary, animated and live action short films are local community favorites, and will be screened at the Western Folklife Center and GBC Theater.
