CINEMA CIRCUS: Best of 2014 Martha’s Vineyard Film Fest

Being part of a national community of prestigious film festivals, PCFF invites short film compilations from other quality festivals to be part of our program. Last year the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival (held every summer) sent us their very entertaining CINEMA CIRCUS reel. It was so popular, we are pleased to present this year’s reel, too!
