Austin Film Festival - Docs and More Docs

Hey, just to remind people that the Austin Film Festival is October 16-23rd. The line-up looks really awesome and they are playing films at the Alamo Ritz, the Dobie, Hideout, the Arbor, and most excitingly IMAX theater. The price for a pass is $43.50 (w/tax) and they're available at Waterloo Records and Intellectual Properties which is right on the drag. It is a basic pass so it doesn't allow you access to the special panels or after parties. There are going to be several documentaries playing (with hopefully Q&As with directors and such). This is my first film festival so I don't really know how this works but it looks like this could be a good opportunity to get all of your outside events. First night alone, there are several interesting docs like The Atom Smashers, Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman, and Les Ninjas du Japon. The website is AustinFilmFestival.com and an entire schedule of films playing can be found there. Did I mention the pass gets you into all 190 films that are playing!!! Hope to see some of you at the doc screenings! - David

Thanks for the post, David. Indeed this is a great event, a great way to see films in a very dynamic context, with filmmakers present at many of the events. E. Spiro
