Short Attention Span Cinema: 30/30 Vision – Three Decades of Strand Releasing

Friday, February 7 - Friday, March 13, 2020

Due to the unexpected closure of the theater on March 14, in order to slow the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, this program of Short Attention Span Cinema has been suspended. We hope to resume the program when we reopen.

Legendary independent distributor Strand Releasing celebrates its 30th Anniversary with 30/30 VISION -THREE DECADES OF STRAND RELEASING, a collection of short films, all shot on iPhones with the support and collaboration of Apple, made by dozens of filmmakers from around the world who’ve worked with Strand over its storied history. IFC Center is proud to exhibit this selection of the 30/30 films in honor of Strand Releasing’s indelible contribution to independent cinema over the past thirty years.

The below filmmakers’ shorts will screen at IFC Center for one week each, before the theater’s regular screenings, February 7 – April 23.
