Maryland Film Festival No Longer Virtual

The festival’s 24th edition will take place at the historic Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway Theatre from Wednesday, April 27 to Sunday, May 1.

This year’s lineup includes 20 feature films and 130 short films, as well as a special screening of the first episode of “We Own This City,” an HBO limited series based on Baltimore Banner writer Justin Fenton’s book about the infamous Gun Trace Task Force.

Among the other films are David Cronenberg’s “Maps to the Stars,” presented by famed Baltimore director John Waters, and two new documentaries by Oscar nominee and Emmy winner Stanley Nelson.
