The sixth annual Tahoe Film Fest is scheduled to take place from Dec. 3 to 6. Throughout the film fest, social distancing and wearing face coverings will be required. Purchase tickets online to limit person-to-person contact. However, theater box offices will be open for ticket sales.
Films will be screened at Incline Village Cinemas, Crystal Bay Casino’s Crown Room and Northstar Village Cinemas. All ticket sales from Tahoe Film Fest benefit research, education and public outreach through UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center. Some of the environmental include: “Public Trust,” “Rebuilding Paradise,” “Kiss the Ground,” “Purple Mountains” and “The New West and the Politics of the Environment,” featuring former Nevada Sen. Harry Reid.
At Crystal Bay Club’s Crown Room, the festival will feature music documentaries such as “Ella Fitzgerald: Just One of Those Things,” “Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President” and “Billie,” an inspiring film about the legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday.
Other films featured include: “Critical Thinking,” John Leguizamo’s directorial debut; “Blood on the Wall” from Sebastian Junger; “Parasite,” last year’s Academy Award-winning Best Picture; and “Citizen Penn,” which documents Sean Penn’s humanitarian efforts following the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
