A well crafted selection of short films all in one show.
Since 2003 it has been our mission to create programs that highlight a broad variety of genres within film. This year is no different, you will see that we have carefully curated shows (we call them "Mix Tapes") to simulate the in-person experience. Each "Mix Tape" show is a variety of films, pre configured for your viewing pleasure. The shows are categorized into themes and/or "mini" festivals which give the viewer a well rounded film festival experience. This method is a great way to see a wide spectrum of films you may have overlooked in the "2020 Films List".

Availability ended CDT
Desperate to support his family after an economic crash in 1980s Pittsburgh, a devoted family man becomes an international drug smuggler and
Pittsburgh, early 1980s; a true story about Carl Begovich, a devoted husband and family
man, a fourth-grade teacher, coach and recreation director whose life quickly turned
upside down. After the steel mill economy crash that devastated his community and a
tumultuous teachers’ strike, Carl lost his jobs teaching and coaching children. Then one
day, an unforeseen opportunity presented itself. As Carl struggled for money to support
his family, he dove headlong into the seedy underworld of drug smuggling and lived a
fast life reminiscent of scenes from the hit television show Miami Vice and the film Scarface.
From Florida to Pittsburgh, Costa Rica and the Bahamas, Carl embarked on a
decades long illicit drug smuggling career, but after suffering a very personal loss during
a drug deal gone bad – the mysterious disappearance of his childhood friend – Carl was
forced into hiding from Pittsburgh’s Irish mafia. To get back to his family, and save his life,
while on the lam, Carl completed what he hoped would be one last job, a daring bank
heist, which earned him enough money to pay off the mob and return home to his family.

A true story of an old woman who chose to live on the streets with her parrots, afraid of dying alone in her home.
'The parrot lady' is inspired by a true story. The film works as an artistic interpretation of a woman's life who chose to live on the streets with her parrots, afraid of dying alone in her home. 'The Parrot Lady' is a story about old age and loneliness. A story that creates empathy and raises awareness for the elder members of our society that live alone, who have no one to turn to and whose biggest fear is that of dying unnoticed. The film has been created by the Cyprus based animation studio Zedem Media, with a combination of frame by frame and computer animation techniques. The sound design was constructed in such a way that provides the appropriate emotional undertone for the film, while the soundtrack features the music of Eleni Era, an upcoming Cypriot artist.
