Sightlines: Ohio Documentary Shorts Presented by Cinema Columbus

This Cinema Columbus festival screening features seven short documentaries made by filmmakers across Ohio. The program showcases the diverse storytelling happening in the state, with films exploring deeply personal themes like individual hardship, meaningful connections, social expectations, and how the past shapes our world today. You'll see work that ranges from intimate character studies to broader examinations of human experience. The entire program runs approximately 80 minutes. This is a great option if your family enjoys documentary films and wants to experience thoughtful, locally-made cinema. The shorts format makes it easier to keep younger viewers engaged compared to a feature-length film. It's a nice way to support Ohio filmmakers and discover fresh perspectives on stories that matter. Head to the Wexner Center Film/Video Theater to catch this curated collection.
