It's so exciting to see the screenings fill up! If you need a visual guide to help you with planning your days, please take a look at this schedule grid.
While there are still plenty of tickets available, if shows sell out, know we will start the waitlist 30 minutes before show time and start letting folks in within 5 minutes of show time. In addition to the popular Vermont Shorts program, here is what is happening on Sunday, our festival finale (with quotes and quips from our screeners).
Sunday Matinee Repeats 3/16
The Colors Within | 10:30 AM | Capitol
The sold out Friday show will repeat, this time with a Q&A with director of short film Birds of a Feather, Katie Cobos, before the Sunday show.
"The stained glass angels behind the stage. The dancing nun. The song lyrics. The ballet in the garden. Chasing the ferry. I cried multiple times."
Sponsor: MSMS Community Alliance
78 Days | 12 Noon | Savoy Upstairs
This additional screening is another chance for us to be among the first folks viewing this movie in the US.
"This is one of the best films I've ever seen. Time flies when watching it."

Sticky Situations
On Becoming a Guinea Fowl | 2 PM | Capitol
"Strange and unique tone and presentation style... funny deadpan moments"
Sponsor: Whiskey Tit
The Balconettes | 4:30 PM | Capitol
"Some good laughs, lots of shocks, entertaining and repulsive!"
Sponsor: Rootstock Publishing
Eephus | 7 PM | Savoy Upstairs
"This is a film that expertly knows how to put the peanut butter around a pill."
Sponsor: AARP of Vermont
The Cruz Brothers and Miss Malloy | 7:30 PM | Savoy Downstairs
A restoration at once formally bold and relaxed, making time for long conversations with ghosts as well as one of the brother’s obsession with lunch.
Sponsor: Minuteman Press
Real World Situations
No Other Land | 4:30 PM | Savoy Upstairs
Discussion with Mark Hage, long-time Palestine solidarity activist, union labor advocate, and Vermonter since 1983 following the screening
"Politically urgent and cinematically intricate, the film weaves together footage of Basel as well as his own camera's perspective, creating a narrative that is at once thoughtful and deeply emotional."
The White House Effect | 7 PM | Capitol
"Meticulously researched, skillfully edited, and thourough without being pedantic, it is reminder of how much further along we could be with fighting environmental devastation."
Sponsors: Catamount Solar, VTDigger

Tips for a smooth festival experience
- Buy tickets in advance or with cash: purchase your tickets online and present your QR code at the door or pay for tickets at the door with cash to save the online card processing time. Sold out shows will still manage a waitlist.
- Be on time: If there is a waitlist and the seats are available, we will start letting folks in 5 minutes before showtime. We will try our best to ensure everyone gets into the movie, but late arrivals forfeit their seats. Sorry.
- Pick up as you go: We have allowed time between shows for folks to exit and enter, and smooth transitions happen when we all take our trash out with us as we go. Help us to keep the theaters clean and bring your trash out with you as you exit the show.
