No matter who you are or what you want, TCFF has movies for every mood, person, and occasion! We’ve realized that our extensive options can be daunting, so we’ve grouped together some categories to make planning your schedule a little easier. Check them out below!
Movies to make you laugh
Laughter is the best medicine, and here at TCFF there are hearty dosages available. With goofy road trips, streaking contests, and more, if you follow these suggestions you’re sure to get your fix.
Movies for cinephiles
We’ve got auteurs on parade this year. If the inception of “movies about movies” doesn’t sound too meta for you, we’d recommend these!
Movies to devastate you
If you’re a patron of Hobbes’ natural philosophy, or like to go out of your comfort zone, these movies are for you. Featuring 2018 Golden Globe winner for Best Foreign Language Film, In the Fade, and Sundance 2018’s US Dramatic Audience Award winner, Burden, these timely and poignant stories will put you through the emotional wringer.
Movies for badass women
Let’s hear it for the girls! Including the rise of female chefs, the largely untold story of women’s activism in the Red Power movement, and (of course) the Notorious R.B.G., this list shines a spotlight on some bad-ass women. If you’re tired of experiencing cinema through the male gaze, these movies offer a refreshing change-of-pace.
Movies that will tug on your heartstrings
Questioning our seemingly fruitless existence? From the nostalgia of Mr. Rogers to the quirky artistry of Faces Places, this list of films will overwhelm you with their insight into the human condition.
Movies for social justice
2018 has been a tough year for compassion and hope, but the following films are a perfect way to engage in a conversation with social movements across the country and world. Check out any (or all) of them to empathize, humanize, and most importantly learn.
Movies for the LGBTQ+ movement
While the film industry is still a ways away from total representation of marginalized communities, the 2018 festival will be featuring some of the best queer films of the last year.
Movies for music lovers
From the iconic Talking Heads to the dad-daughter band in Hearts Beat Loud, these movies are guaranteed to get you on your feet in the spirit of song! Or at least get your toe-tapping a little.
