Tacoma Film Festival Starts Tonight - Plus An Update

Tonight is the opening night of the Tacoma Film Festival. A reception at the First United Methodist Church scheduled to begin at 6:30. However …

Due to the high interest in the VP debate, we’ll open the doors at the church at 6:00 and have the debate playing live through its entirety. Unusual yes, but that is what people want to see! It will be a great chance for people to watch it together, have food from the Hub, desserts from Corina Bakery and wine by the glass. The movie will follow the reception and begin 8:15 to 8:30 p.m.

The festival runs through October 9th.

Opening Night films:

“On Paper Wings”

In 1945, a Japanese balloon bomb claimed the lives of the only people killed on the continental U.S. as the result of enemy action during WWII. Forty years later, the decision to fold a thousand paper cranes would unite the Japanese and American civilians affected by this incident.
