INDIANAPOLIS — The lineup is set for the 33rd Heartland International Film Festival.
Tickets are now on sale to see the more than 110 films during the 11-day festival Oct. 10-20.
The festival will showcase 28 World/North/ American/U.S. Premieres, 20 Special Presentations from major distributors and 10 Indiana Spotlight films.
Screenings will take place at Emagine Noblesville, Kan-Kan Cinema and Restaurant, Landmark Glendale 12, Living Room Theaters and Newfields.
"Year after year, Heartland International Film Festival is among the first film festivals in the world to showcase eventual Academy Award winners and nominees across Indianapolis screens," Heartland Film Artistic Director Greg Sorvig said. "Oscar winners like 'The Whale' and 'The Holdovers' had major event screenings at HIFF, and major titles like 'A Real Pain' from Searchlight Pictures and 'Emilia Pérez' from Netflix have strong buzz this year. HIFF is known for having passionate audiences and connecting with moviegoers via an Audience Choice Award, like Oscar nominee 'Rustin' did last year, can also be a strong predictor for awards season success."
Films generating Oscar buzz screening at this year's festival include:
- "A Real Pain," directed, written by and starring Jesse Eisenberg. Also starring Kieran Culkin.
- "Small Things Like These," starring Oscar winner Cillian Murphy.
- "Emilia Pérez," directed by Jacques Audiard. Starring Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz.
- "Sing Sing," directed and written by Greg Kwedar. Starring Colman Domingo.
- "Nightbitch," directed by Marielle Heller. Starring Amy Adams.
- "Will & Harper," starring Will Ferrell.
- "Unstoppable," starring Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Don Cheadle and Jennifer Lopez.
