Dallas’ film festival community did something never before seen anywhere else in the country when 22 film festivals joined forces last weekend to offer up films from each film festival that either were award-winners, major hits from a previous edition of their fest, or simply demonstrated the programming style and taste of the film festival.
The heads of prominent Dallas and North Texas Film Festivals announced their selections for the Top Ten Films of 2018 during WFAA’s Midday at 8 news broadcast today with Ryan Coogler’s BLACK PANTHER, Alfonso Cuarón’s ROMA, and John Krasinski’s A QUIET PLACE taking the top three spots.
The heads of prominent Dallas and North Texas Film Festivals announced their selections for the Top Ten Films of 2017 during WFAA’s Midday at 8 news broadcast today with Edgar Wright’s BABY DRIVER, Jordan Peele’s GET OUT, and Guillermo del Toro’s THE SHAPE OF WATER taking the top three spots among films released in 2017.
The Closing Night red carpet for the Women Texas Film Festival was as energetic, eclectic, and fun as the headlining film, QUALITY PROBLEMS. Writer, director, star, Brooke Purdy and producer Colette Freedman set the tone for WTxFF’s big finale evening that included films from representing all sections and genres at the festival: documentaries, comedy, drama, horror, etc., you name it – the women that made it were on that carpet.
This conference is put on by film fest people for film fest people, as opposed to other film fests conferences that seem to be money making schemes rather than offering any real help or insight.
