The Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival runs through April 19. Our critic calls these four selections "moving," "stunning," "essential viewing," and "anything but tame." #MSPIFF #MSPIFF45 #MSPFilm #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/04/mspi...
An early morning low-angle, close-up shot of the marquee at The Main Cinema in Minneapolis. The image focuses on the underside of the theater's canopy, with its rows of warm, glowing incandescent light bulbs creating a grid of amber light against the lightening sky. Above the lights, a portion of the white marquee sign is visible with black block lettering that reads "MAR 4 - APR," for the 17th Minnesota Cuban Film Festival. The background shows the glass entrance of the theater and leafless trees lining the street under a cool, morning sky.

The (sorry) state of available new in-theater films in the Twin Cities in 2025:
One must rely on the national multiplex chain for even the slightest alternative (i.e., foreign non huge Hollywood) screenings.
MSP Film #mspfilm in particular really need to do better
