COVID-19 UPDATE
Due to COVID-19, the decision has been made to postpone the first annual Cinema Columbus.
The health and well-being of our patrons, filmmakers, special guests, volunteers, and staff must come first, and we want to deliver the highest-quality film festival we possibly can. We are monitoring the evolving situation and will announce the new dates as soon as possible. Stay strong and stay safe, film fans! We’ll see you soon!
