Sightlines: Ohio Documentary Shorts

Presented by Cinema Columbus

Four stills from the films in Sightlines: Ohio Documentary Shorts.

The Cinema Columbus festival presents these seven documentary shorts, showing the range and quality of work being produced across Ohio.

With their hearts planted in Ohio these exceptional documentary shorts cover personal struggle, warm relationships, societal pressure, the way history informs our present, and more. The 17th state in the union is a vast landscape for talented cinematic hands to mold their human stories both at home and abroad. (program approx. 80 mins., DCP)
