An International Spring

The 37th annual Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival returns April 12-28, bringing over 150 new feature films and 100 shorts representing 70+ countries to audiences throughout the Upper Midwest. This year, MSPIFF expands to include select screenings at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, in addition to screenings at its hub at the St. Anthony Main Theatre, the Capri Theater, the Uptown Theatre, Metropolitan State University's Film Space in St. Paul and the Marcus Wehrenberg 14 Theater in Rochester.

Then, in May, Minnesota's largest multi-cultural celebration gets underway in downtown Saint Paul. Festival of Nations, which is open to the public May 4 - 6, brings together people from a vast array of backgrounds to celebrate their ethnic heritage, learn about other cultures and enjoy great food. The theme for 2018, which will be seen throughout the Festival, is Then and Now: Exploring Historical and Contemporary Cultural Traditions. For tickets and more info, visit festivalofnations.com.
