This weekend marks the return of the Thin Line Film Fest. The Film Fest is an all documentary festival with film entries across the world. A unique feature of this Texas film fest, besides being the only all-documentary festival in Texas, is the entries to the festival are not required to be nonfiction. In fact, in many of the films, there is a thin line between nonfiction and fiction; you
are left to decipher the truth.
By changing the event to late September rather than Labor Day, I think there will be a much better turn out this year. I hope that people will recognize not just the value of the films, but the value of where these films are shown. The main locations for the event will be the over-100-year-old Fine Arts Theater and the near-100-year-old Campus Theater, both of which are located on the historic downtown Denton square and have long
since been retired from showing movies -- this is a rare opportunity to see a movie in these two historic old theaters.
Though the fest actually began last night, there are still many shows tonight, all day tomorrow and all day Sunday, as well as great workshops all day Saturday and Sunday. If you have eight bucks and two hours, please check this event out. If nothing else, check out the schedule: http://www.thinlinefilmfest.com/.
