Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
We sure do love our arts around here, especially ones with Texas ties. That’s why we’re uber-thrilled about TexFest, a one-day film festival highlighting all things Lone Star. Presented by the USA Film Festival and the Texas Association of Film & Tape Professionals, TexFest offers three programs of Texas-made feature-length films and shorts honoring Irma P. Hall, Gail Cronauer and Juli Erickson. Slated for the evening are M. Legend Brown’s Hiding in Plain Sight; a shorts showcase that includes First Love Always Leaves Its Mark, Quiet, Sparrow, Blue and Jasper; and a Jon Keeyes/Mathew Topkins double feature of Nightmare Box and The Mechanical Grave, a short horror thriller that has become quite the hit on the steampunk circuit. This Thursday TexFest takes over the Angelika Film Center, 5321 Mockingbird Lane, with screenings beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday. Tickets for each program are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. Call 214-821-6300 or visit usafilmfestival.com for complete program information.
