Long Stories Short
The Cinematexas International Short Film Festival
By Shawn Badgley, Fri., Sept. 12, 2003
Navigating this island avant-garde paradise is a tricky business. It's a tribute to Cinematexas 8 that we couldn't hope to do justice to its overwhelmingly inviting lineup by discussing each and every program (Eye + Ear! Competition! Terra Cognita! Parallax View!), not to mention each and every attendee (Babette Mangolte! Robbie Conal! Todd Haynes! Alexander Cockburn! Richard Maxwell! Naomi Uman! Eric Drooker!). Instead, here's a random sampling of what we plan on seeing, along with a schedule through Thursday, Sept. 18 (we'll print the remaining schedule in next week's issue); venue addresses; and ticket information that should help you take the first step. For anything else you might need, we strongly encourage a visit to www.cinematexas.org. I can't stress that enough.
