The On Screen/In Person Film Series offers a selection of six independent American films. The filmmakers will do a Q&A following each screening, providing an in-depth look at the films and their respective topics and issues. A program of the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, On Screen/In Person films were chosen by a team of curators from arts presenters across the mid-Atlantic region. The Annenberg Center partnered with Penn’s Cinema Studies department to select our inaugural Film Curation Resident, Greta Yucong, who screened and reviewed the films that applied to be part of the On Screen/In Person series this year.
