Past screenings have included: The Shape of Water, Molly’s Game, The Descendants, The Imitation Game, Ms. Sloane, Call Me by Your Name, Crown Heights, Spotlight, Undefeated, Wild, and Nebraska.

Notable actors and filmmakers who have attended the festival include: Will Ferrell, Kevin Costner, Kurt Russell, Judy Greer, Jeffrey Wright, Shailene Woodley, Michael Shannon, Dev Patel, John Travolta, Katie Holmes, Zoey Deutch, and Viggo Mortensen.
