Cucalorus recently released its schedule for the thirtieth annual film festival taking over downtown Wilmington on November 20-24.
The lineup includes a mix of short films and main features, such as the opening feature Operation Taco Gary’s, which was shot in North Carolina last year.
Other narrative features will be Lone Wolves, Lady Parts, and Lilly, a movie depicting fair-pay activist LILLY LEDBETTER (shown above) who is played in the movie by Academy Award nominee PATRICIA CLARKSON.
Shorts, documentaries, question-and-answer sessions with filmmakers round out the festival, while Dance-a-lorus featuring short dance works by local chorographers hits Thalian Hall on the first night.
“This year’s festival feels like a reunion of sorts. We have some of our favorite performers like Shirley Gnome, Roxana Barba, and Alexandra Tatarsky coming to share new work in the cabaret-style Filmmakers Lounge,” says festival head DAN BRAWLEY. “Many of the shorts blocks will screen on the main stage at Thalian Hall, a throwback to the first festival where we screened sixteen short films.”
