Think you gotta go to Hollywood or Austin for an indie film festival? Think again!
The San Antonio Film Festival celebrates its 15th year with an eclectic lineup. Held June 25-28 with two daily screenings (daytime 2:00-5:00 pm; evening 7:00-11:00pm), the Festival will award nine jury prizes. Many of the films are “shorts” of less than 10 minutes. You’ll of course see several of these during a screening.
The Festival accepts entries from around the world. Some of this year’s features from San Antonio:
- “The Thing Walking Outside,” directed by Valdemar Belmares. An eight-minute short about children and their imagination.
- “Shaken,” directed by Sylvia Rincon. A 15-minute film about a family dealing with long-term illness.
- “Death Rattle,” directed by A.J. Garces. A short film based on Amparo Garcia Crow’s award-winning story.
There are also several longer features.
The festival is held at the Instituto Cultural de Mexico (600 Hemisfair Plaza Way). Tickets are sold at the door only, and seating is limited, so arrive early. Day screenings are $10; evening screenings are $15.
