The critically acclaimed Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival presented by Oaklawn announced the lineup of
Cine Las Americas Executive Director Gabriel Ornelas, said, “In format, this year will serve as a bridge from our virtual showcase during the pandemic last year to returning to the in-person screenings and events we have all been looking forward to enjoying once again. Our opening night screening under the stars is a wonderful first step in that direction, without losing the gains we have made through the virtual screenings broadening the reach of CLAIFF and bringing these great films into people’s living rooms so we can introduce them to our wonderful filmmakers.”
The 15th Annual Tallgrass International Film Festival presented by Consolidated Equities Trust (October 18-22) today announced the three films that will compete in its new DOX Spotlight Section. DOX Spotlight is sponsored by Greteman Group. The female-helmed documentaries include Madeleine Gavin’s CITY OF JOY, Skye Borgman’s FOREVER ‘B’ and Robin Berghaus’ STUMPED.
To be eligible for the DOXX Spotlight, films must be women-directed, feature-length documentaries (male/female co-directing teams are not eligible) and not have any traditional distribution deal (theatrical or VOD) at the time of the film festival in October.
From an award-winning documentary and fun local production at the Oxford Film Festival to a special screening of one of my favorite films (SECRETARY) to some indie comedy and genre on VOD. Again the pendulum swings with the movie watching..
