29th Palm Springs International Shortfest Opening Night

Cinephiles rejoice, because the Palm Springs International ShortFest is back, and it all kicks off Tuesday. Join organizers for an evening celebration featuring screenings of “Help Me Understand,” “Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó” (Grandma & Grandma), “Parker,” “The Old Young Crow,” “AirHostess-737” and “Sisters of the Rotation.” If you want to keep the party going after the last film ends, your ticket also grants you access to the after party at the Palm Springs Air Museum.
