Austin International Film Festival
New name, same love of movies. Formerly Screen ATX, this fest is back and still has an emphasis on the kind of under-the-radar projects that find supporters in Austin’s ever-welcoming film community. It may only be one day, but with 14 hours of flicks leading to an award ceremony and late, late, late afterparty, it’s a long weekend’s worth of movies. And though international it may be, there’s a serious local flavor – including Bloody & Bruised: The Untold Story of the Back Room, recounting the history and mayhem of Austin’s legendary metal club. – Richard Whittaker
