Columbus film coming to Yes Cinema in September

Yes Cinema will hold a special screening of the film “Columbus” in September.

Randy Allman, of the Lincoln-Central Neighborhood Family Center, announced this weekend that the agency and the Columbus Area Visitors Center have secured a screening of the film on Sept. 1st. The film was shot in and around Columbus last year and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, which highlights independent films in the hopes of securing distribution.

Erin Hawkins, marketing director of the visitors center, announced last week that the film had been picked up for limited distribution nationwide in August.

Allman said the movie will also play in September at a select theater in Indianapolis.

The film stars John Cho, Haley Lu Richardson, Michelle Forbes and Parker Posey and heavily features the architecture of Columbus. It has received critical raves since it premiered at Sundance.
