After more than 140 films screened, ten filmmaker podcast interviews, and more than a dozen written essays, The Cinematropolis deadCenter 2022 coverage comes to a close in today’s final festival episode of The Cinematic Schematic looking back at the highlights from the festival from the full Cinematropolis team including writers Jo Light, Daniel Bokemper, and Christopher Shultz.



Bokemper shares his in-person festival experience before each person from around the virtual table talks about the films they saw and wrote about from deadCenter 2022. We close out by talking about the benefits of the virtual film festival that is available to pass holders through the end of this weekend.
