This festival, sponsored by OSE in partnership with the historic AFI Silver Theater and Cultural Center in downtown Silver Spring, will be held at the Silver Theater.

- June 8: Dark Victory—brain cancer
- July 13: Miss Evers’ Boys—Tuskegee syphilis experiments, human subjects research, history of medicine
The films begin at 7 p.m. and free tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis (there are 400 seats) through the AFI Silver box office the day of the show.
