The Red Rose Film Festival returns to Lancaster County from Friday, Nov. 7, through Sunday, Nov. 9. This festival will present a mix of locally produced and nationally curated films at Penn Cinema in Lititz and Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse in Lancaster from Friday through Sunday.
The Red Rose Film Festival will screen feature-length films, shorts, documentaries, and student films, spotlighting local stories and community impact, according to Ryan Shank, executive director and founder of the festival, in an email to LNP | LancasterOnline.
According to LNP | LancasterOnline, Shank started the film festival in 2019. Although the festival has changed its scope and venues since its founding, its mission of bringing films to audiences remains the same.
