The CMU International Film Festival presents an online screening of "Sorry We Missed You"
Ken Loach’s Sorry We Missed You, is the film which was supposed to open the 2020 CMU IFF Faces of HOME on March 19th. The pandemic put those plans on hold but the organizers have created an inventive opportunity for anyone who would like to simulate the opening-night experience. It’s called “Almost Like the Real Thing” and will take place on the evening of May 23rd.
