The checklist for a well-programmed film festival might go something like this: Deliver a varied slate of films: fiction and nonfiction; feature-length films and shorts; comedies and dramas. Sculpt shorts packages with intentional juxtapositions that delight and create meaningful, pleasing and potent echoes. Host guests and panels that guarantee the film-centric gathering is an event, not just cinema’s version of binge-watching. Above all, engage, entertain and expand comfort zones.
