Austin Film Festival: getting closer
Have you checked out the Austin Film Festival film schedule? The lineup includes a bunch of marquee films (Tenacious D!), some super-secret sneak previews, and an interesting variety of independent narrative and documentary shorts and features. Filmmakers/actors from some of the movies are scheduled to do Q&As, such as Sydney Pollack, Shane Black, Janine Turner, and Kevin Smith. (Imagine them all involved with the same film.) The AFF News blog has the most current details on last-minute changes and additions.
I haven't yet decided which films I'm going to see and/or review -- I keep changing my mind every time I look at the schedule. Being from Louisiana, I'm drawn towards anything shot or set there, like Little Chenier and A Place to Dance. Whatever I pick, I will be covering AFF both here and at Cinematical, just like Fantastic Fest.
The film festival takes place from Oct. 19-26, and venues include The Hideout, Dobie, Paramount, IMAX ... and outside of downtown, the Arbor and Alamo Lake Creek. I'm hoping I don't have to find out how long it takes to drive from Dobie to Alamo Lake Creek. Yeesh. Film passes are only $35 for eight days of movies.
