It’s the second annual LNKarno Festival, a reprise of Locarno’s lineup from five years ago, viewed on my couch in Lincoln. Last year I watched ten features and some shorts in a long weekend – this time we have a busier summer so I spread things out over a couple weeks.
LNKarno-week viewings in green, regular links for films I’d seen previously, unlinked might be good to watch in the future.
