SCHEDULE
We are living in a strange year, and UNAFF is trying its best to adapt by moving the festival online. We are making the films available to watch anytime during the day they are scheduled for, which is also the best way to stay in lockstep with the dense festival program. We also hope that our viewers will join us for the 6:00 PM daily Zoom sessions and learn more about the films from the filmmakers, subjects of the films and experts.
