This year’s festival features 141 films grouped into 32 blocks from 30 countries in 27 languages. About 20% of the films have an Indiana connection, and the festival’s opening night will screen a block of nine shorts from local and Indiana filmmakers followed by the feature “The Last Days of Summer,” which is the the first feature film from Indianapolis filmmaker Alex Rodgers.

“We are so proud of the program we have put together this year,” said film festival director Christi Hille. “We are again celebrating local and Indiana filmmakers throughout the festival, but especially on opening night. Every single day is packed with amazing stories from truly talented storytellers from around the world. We are so lucky to be able to bring this event and these amazing stories to the Fort Wayne community.”
