Here's what's new and what's holding in Wex virtual screening rooms this week. Each stream purchased through our independent distributor partners helps support the center and its programming.
Premiering today: Cane River
"Relaxed, reflective and sweet, a romance shadowed by the complexities of history, race and politics that manages to be both modest and ambitious."—New York Times
This film is available to stream via Kanopy with a Columbus Metropolitan or Ohio State Library card. But if you're able, we hope you'll purchase a screening ticket here to support the center's programming.
Premiering today: Santiago, Italia
"The film tells a historical story with personal passion and grand drama."—New Yorker
Coming Saturday, April 18 at 7 PM: Ohio Shorts
While we know we can't gather together in person for this year's event, we're hoping to create an equally engaging but expanded experience by bringing Ohio Shorts online. This program will be free to stream for two weeks, with audience award voting open for the first week.

Held over: Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands
"Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands should be seen as liberating, an unpretentious and uncomplicated slant on desire."—Los Angeles Times
New restoration!
Held over: Slay the Dragon
"A rather thrilling and hopeful watch, particularly in an election year while the world is roiling with uncertainty."—Vox
Held over: Sorry We Missed You
"Well-researched and highly detailed in how it lays bare the empty promises of the gig economy and the ruthless techno-feudalism of e-commerce, Sorry We Missed You is a movie that will infuriate you. But what makes it one of [Ken] Loach’s best isn’t just its rage (which is plentiful) but its compassion (which is overwhelming)."—Vulture
