The 2020 Heartland International Film Festival made adjustments in the pandemic. It starts Oct. 8 virtually, and at two unique and socially distanced outdoor locations, and will bring a variety of independent films to Indianapolis.

From WFYI's Arts and Culture Desk, Jill Ditmire spoke with Heartland Film President Craig Prater about the venues, the Red Carpet events and some of this year's movies.
