AFI DALLAS International Film Festival

Sorry that posts have been few and far between, but I've been working with the inaugural AFI DALLAS International Film Festival. Opening Weekend was wildly successful with packed houses, appearances by Hollywood royalty like Lauren Bacall and Sidney Pollack, and hoi polloi like David Lynch, Bill Paxton, and Chris Klein. Lots of wonderfully quirky movies, excellent documentaries and family films. A highlight of last night was a screening at the magnificent Meyerson Symphony Center of classic Harold Lloyd silent films with live organ accompaniment. Wow!

And there's still much more this week, including hockey movie The Rocket, the wonderful film Bella, appearances by Marvin Hamlisch and Ricki Lake and...well, check out afidallas.com for all the scoop. Sign up for their mailing list and you'll receive daily updates throughout the Festival.

See you at the movies!
