Film Fest DC


The annual Film Fest DC is usually a lot of fun, and it starts today. The organizers do a great job of providing some of the best international films from around the world. This year’s festival has two special focuses- Politics & Film and New Latin American Cinema.

Other than “Made in Jamaica,” I haven’t heard great things about any of these films, but that’s not uncommon. These films don’t typically have much marketing muscle behind them. I didn’t get my hands on this year’s program, so I’m clueless about what to see. If any of you have heard good things about any of this year’s selections, please leave a comment.

Friday night at the festival is Dream of Life, a documentary about Patti Smith. She will be in attendance. It's a must see.

im going to all the chilean films because they always have actors from the soaps i used to love! pretty much every synopsis involves pinochet.

the patti smith one also sounds sweet.
