Thank you for making this year’s Cinema Columbus Film Festival a huge success! Our hearts are full of warmth - we’re so grateful to have welcomed you all to Ohio’s capital city for a few days of cinematic celebration!

Nicole Kidman’s AMC ad gets talked about a lot, but she’s onto something:

We love films, we love our community! ❤️ til next time!
