New Dawn for Cincinnati Film Festival

Leland Orser's 'Morning' is the type of film that often falls through the cracks in today's depressed distribution landscape: a small, challenging passionproject that makes no concessions to commercial cinema. It needs to find an audience via artist-nurturing outlets like the Cincinnati Film Festival, where 'Morning' makes its regional premiere with multiple showings at the Esquire Theatre. The festival runs through Oct. 16 at 11 area venues.
