As I return from the SXSW film festival, I’m looking forward to what’s upcoming. Here’s some highlights from Nashville’s Film Festival, which is running April 16-23 this year, and looks to be very strong.
Narrative Competition:
- Buick Riviera
- Kisses (Slashfilm Review)
- Pachamama
- Sita Sings the Blues (I’ve heard nothing but praise of this film)
- That Evening Sun (Jury & Audience awards winner at SXSW)
- True Adolescents*
Documentary Competition:
- For the Love of Movies
- Garbage Dreams
- Living in Emergency: Stories from Doctors without Borders
Special Presentations
- 500 Days of Summer
- The Passion of Joan of Arc
- Trimpin: The Sound of Invention
I was thinking of trying to catch the Atlanta Film Festival, because it is showing some films I missed at SXSW like Goodbye Solo, Alexander the Last, Beeswax, and a film that I did catch and I want Freya to see called it was great, but i was ready to come home. I hope to write some more on that film soon. It’s playing April 18 in Atlanta, and might just be worth the drive to see it. For some reason I just kind of loved the film.
Anyways, that’s all for now, I’ll do some SXSW thoughts in the coming days hopefully and get some more posts up on this blog.
Thanks for the list. I’ve been looking over their films today. There’s some really interesting looking documentaries this year. (The Other Side of the Lens, Capturing Reality, Big River Man, etc.)
