Join us for the Katra Film Series’ 9th Annual Grand Finale Featuring the Top Works that screened with us in 2020 as part of our quarterly virtual fest. The top selections were carefully chosen by our programming team and audience vote last year and will be available to watch anytime and anywhere via XERB.TV running February 22nd-27th. The finalists will compete for up to $10,000 in total prizes in our best of categories including the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Choice Award.

We also have a casting and filmmaking workshop with Backstage Magazine on Thursday, February 25th at 7pm EST. Founded in 1960, Backstage is the most trusted name in casting, utilizing decades of experience and advanced technology to connect content-creators with the talent needed to take their projects to the next level. Backstage Casting Specialist Christina Kleppinger will walk you through the new normal in casting – from forming a perfect breakdown, to holding effective virtual auditions, to hiring the best talent.

***Please note all ticket holders/audience members receive a $25 GIFT CARD from the HiO store in Tribeca redeemable online or for in-store purchases with brands from around the world***
