COVID-19 shut down the Museum of History through the end of May 2020, so the team at Longleaf Film Festival worked to create an opportunity for our film fans and film supporters to see some of our Official Selection films on our original festival dates—Friday, May 8, and Saturday, May 9. Films listed in the tables below were available for free viewing as part of the #AloneTogether online movement.
Please share your gratitude to these films’ teams by commenting on our Facebook Event page AND/OR by giving them a shout-out on their individual social media links (most are available on the Official Selections page). We truly appreciate their generosity and understand the many reasons some Official Selection films are not available for this event.
In addition, please consider making a contribution to Longleaf (use our PayPal link in the sidebar), to help replace some of the funds we lost by not seeing you in person this year; and, again, please thank this year’s sponsors.
The following films from the 2020 Longleaf Film Festival are available to you. Please note: as usual, these are not all family friendly films; most would fall into the PG or PG13 range; a few would meet requirements for an R rating. So, grab a drink, dive into that bag of popcorn, and close your eyes to imagine the hustle and bustle of Longleaf at the museum . . . then enjoy safely, #AloneTogether . . .

Note: While these independent films are not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), most would fall into the PG or PG13 range; a few would meet requirements for an R rating.
