The 7 Series films participating in the Series are by first-time feature film directors. 6 films are from women directors. Films have been programmed in 18 markets.Doubling down on the art of film curation, and the critical role it plays in independent film exhibition, this year’s Series includes a slate of 7 films from the 2026 edition of the The Popcorn List,
