Festivus Film Festival announces 2011 schedule
The fourth annual Festivus Film Festival released its full schedule today on the fest website. The indie-minded festival has collected almost 60 films, including a healthy variety of shorts, documentaries, and narrative features. All are independently made with a variety of budgets, many are premièring, and a stunning 60 percent of them will be represented by the filmmakers in person.
The festival kicks off at 6:45 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 13 with True Nature, a supernatural thriller about an upper-crust family whose daughter disappears for a year, then returns remembering nothing about her absence.
Over the following three days, festival goers can catch everything from docs on Che Guevara (Chasing Che) and David Lynch’s creative process (David Wants To Fly), to Boy Wonder, a psychological thriller about a young man seeking revenge for his mother’s murder that looks like a less fantastic examination of the revenge-driven vigilante tale at the heart of Batman.
A program of Colorado-made shorts Sunday evening wraps up the fest’s screenings. A festival pass, good for all showings and access to the Filmmaker’s Lounge, runs $50. Day passes are $20, and a single screening runs $8. For a complete lineup and schedule, or to buy tickets, visit the Festivus Film Festival website.
