True/False Film Fest announces 2022 lineup - Columbia Missourian

The 2022 True/False Film Fest lineup, announced Wednesday, includes 31 new feature films and 19 new short films. 

The fest will take place March 3-6 at locations throughout Columbia. After last year's all-outdoor screenings, COVID-19 precautions will remain in place, including mandatory masking and proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test, but the 2022 festival will return to indoor venues.

Three feature-length films will make their world debuts at the festival: "After Sherman," "It Runs in the Family" and "Let the Little Light Shine."

The films "Açucena" and "Eventually" will be screening for the first time outside their home countries, and seven other feature-length films will play for the first time in North America.

The lineup also includes some well-known documentaries from the festival circuit. "Fire of Love" received rave reviews at Sundance Film Festival, alongside "I Didn't See You There," "Mija" and "Riotsville, USA," to name a few.

Here's the full list of True/False Film Fest's feature-length films:
