Quarantine Film Festival: April 2020
BY SCOTTIE KNOLLIN
Surely, by now, you’ve eaten half of your food supply, you’ve fawned over the Tiger King, and you’ve clicked through every title on Netflix until you realized you’re too tired to actually watch anything. Welcome to our new normal: Quarantine 2020.
It’s no secret that our current predicament has caused insurmountable financial strain on America’s workforce, small businesses, and nonprofits. Let’s be a force of good and stream some of cinema’s bests while making a difference!
Thanks to the success of recent Quarantine Screening test runs with virtual group screenings of “Goodfellas” and “Good Time” (hosted in partnership with Chamber Six Media), we’ve crafted a schedule of regular Quarantine Screenings throughout April to shine a light on North Dakota’s nonprofits.
The schedule below is subject to change. Quarantine Screenings are sponsored by NDFS and are not affiliated with the promoted cinema, business, or nonprofit.
For April, we’re focusing on nonprofits located in the Fargo metro. Look for an announcement of May screenings and nonprofits later in the month.
To participate, press play at the allotted showtime and follow the accompanying hashtag on Twitter for conversation and trivia throughout the film. And, since you’re not spending money at the cinema, consider donating at least $5 to the featured nonprofit as a sign of goodwill as we navigate these uncharted and isolated waters.
