Cinema St. Louis will also screen the video-wall program – as well as additional Cinema at Citygarden competition entries chosen by CSL – as part of the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase, held in July 2013. Those films will then be eligible for consideration by the St. Louis International Film Festival, held Nov. 14-24, 2013.
