Texas is known for some great film festivals. apart from SXSW and Fantastic Fest, both held in Austin – Houston also hosts some wonderful events. Among them is the Cinema Arts Festival. This year’s line-up is extremely strong, with titles that include Pina, David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method, The Artist and the World Premiere of Art Car: The Movie. Sadly we do not have any contributors over in Houston, but I did feel the need to quickly promote the festival. Here is the press release.

Day 3 of Austin Film Festival was supposed to begin with me attending the “A Conversation with David Peoples” panel at 9:00am, but I decided to sleep in instead; and if I didn’t have an 11:00am interview scheduled with Mark Potts, Cole Selix and Brand Rackley from S&M Lawn Care I probably would have stayed in bed even longer. But it was worth rolling out of bed to chat with Mark, Cole and Brand -- three of the most genuinely nice (and funny) guys in the movie business.

It’s an apt visual metaphor for representing the film’s titular term, which is defined as meaning, “the point at which nature and civilization meet.”
Rarely has the divide between artistic conviction and commercial ambition been as been as beautifully and artfully portrayed as in this picture, which will have its regional premiere at Evanston’s Talking Pictures Festival on Saturday, May 8th. The film centers on the vibrant indie music scene in Austin, Texas, and follows several young artists as they attempt to pursue their dreams without compromising their integrity. With his extraordinary cinematographer/co-editor Robert Garza, director Christ has created less of a multiple character study than a poetic collage of the city’s artistic culture, and its struggle to survive in the wake of gentrification.
