Opening night will feature Sam Pollard's documentary "The Lorraine," examining the historic Memphis hotel. The festival will close with Ira Sachs' acclaimed film "The Man I Love." The artistic director, Brandon Harris, emphasized a program designed to speak to the present moment with "southern grit" and formal audacity.
