The Dallas International Film Festival, which kicks-off April 3, has announced its full festival lineup. You can check out the festival guide here.
Words and Pictures, the Clive Owen and Juliette Binoche-starring film that was produced by former WFAA movie guy Gary Cogill, will be the opening night film. The film that jumps out at me in the schedule is Jia Zhangke’s acclaimed 2013 film A Touch of Sin. There are also a number of films that are showing this week at South by Southwest, including No No: A Dokumentary, about the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis who pitched a no hitter while high on LSD; Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, the Zellner brothers’ new film, which we mentioned in our SXSW preview; and The Case Against 8, a documentary about the fight to repeal anti-gay legislation in California.
And two music docs of local note will also screen: We From Dallas, a film about the local hip hop scene, and the much-anticipated Stark Club documentary, that Michael Cain and company have been working on for some time.
Here’s the link to the festival guide again. As opening creeps closer, we’ll have a full preview.
