The Indie Memphis Film Festival concludes 6:00 PM tonight at the Orpheum Theatre’s Halloran Centre with a screening of short films made with funds from the 2016 Grizz Grant competition. These works by Memphis filmmakers celebrate the Memphis Grizzlies’ female fan experience. The festival’s closing film is Tip of My Tongue by Lynne Sachs, a longtime favorite director at Indie Memphis. Sachs’ experimental documentary examines the nature of memory as a group of friends gather at her New York apartment to piece together the last five decades of their lives.
