Seven of the eight films will be available for streaming for one week each starting on a Tuesday at 12:01 AM until the following Monday at 9:00 PM. A Son will only be available from Friday, April 2, at 7:30 PM until Monday, April 5, at 9:00 PM. Each week's film will culminate in an online discussion led by the filmmaker or an expert speaker on Zoom on Mondays at 7:30 PM.

Collectively the films in this year's series focus on the many definitions and configurations of families, while exploring the ties that bind or sometimes separate: from a teenager who cares for his beloved grandmother during the 1994 Cuban refugee crisis in Agosto, to a homeopathic healer in the former Czechoslovakia in the 1950s whose same-sex secret lover offers undying loyalty in Charlatan.

Three of this year's films were their countries’ submissions for the Best International Feature Film Oscar, and one, as of this writing, is shortlisted for a nomination! In keeping with previous years, nearly half the films are directed by women.
