SpIFF 2020: Two encores and ‘China Love’

Dan Webster

We're down to the final two days of the 2020 Spokane International Film Festival. Here's tonight's schedule, with all films showing at the Magic Lantern Theater:

"Quiet Explosions: Healing the Brain" (5:30 p.m.): This is an encore showing of this year's opening-night documentary feature.

"U.S. Shorts" (7 p.m.): Another encore showing, nine selected shorts ranging in length from four to 25 minutes.

"China Love" (7:30 p.m.): This fascinating documentary explores the multi-million-dollar Chinese pre-wedding photo industry. Directed by Olivia Martin McGuire, the film contrasts the China of today with the country's Cultural Revolution past.

Note: The Magic Lantern just announced that it will open "The Woman Who Loves Giraffes" on March 13 for a regular theatrical run.
