2009 LINEUP ANNOUNCED!
How-do friends, Marfa year two arrives with an even more diverse and selective lineup of new films, new-old films and great classics for the cineaste in you.
Opening the festival is the World Premiere of “80 Blocks from Tiffany’s” a rarely seen gem from 1979 (30 year anniversary!) about street gangs in the Bronx. Director Gary Weiss, who made a handful of legendary shorts for Saturday Night Live during the same period, will be on hand to introduce and discuss the film.
During the fest, Wendell B. Harris will be present to screen the 20 year anniversary of his classic “Chameleon Street” for the first time in the state of Texas. Harris’s legendary and rarely seen film, based on a true story about an African-American con-man, won the Special Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1989.
Other highlights include a searing new feature “Viscious Kind” starring Adam Scott, a sweet-hearted, border-crossing adventure from South Texas, called “Cruzando,” and a wonderfully eclectic doc called “God is American,” about a South Pacific island that still worships an American GI.
The outdoor lineup projected by the great Alamo Drafthouse Rolling Roadshow includes “The Last Picture Show” (presented in person by writer Larry McMurtry!), a 40th anniversery screening of “Midnight Cowboy,” and the great Powell and Pressburger classic, “The Red Shoes” in glorious technicolor.
Closing the festival will be “William Kunstller: Disturbing the Universe” a riveting account of the famous civil rights lawyer directed by his two daughters.
If that's not enough to wet your appetite we'll be announcing a few more choice additions to the lineup in the coming days!
