Cosmic Rays Film Festival
The Cosmic Rays Film Festival is an annual celebration of short experimental films that expand our idea of what film is and what it can be. The Festival presents several programs of short films made by filmmakers from North Carolina and around the world that are formally inventive; speak with a personal voice; and are inspired by the possibilities of film as art.
