I’m stuck in an airport hotel in St Louis. Lots of flights have been canceled because of bad weather in NYC but I’m still feeling the happy glow from True/False and a wifi connection is a wifi connection so all is not lost. Saturday and Sunday were jam-packed with great screenings and super-fun parties. More on the films to come but here is the final installment of photos. True/False is on the telly! Buskers before the final screening of The…
The March March parade up Broadway makes everyone smile. I was talking to someone about it afterwards and she said how nice it was to see grown-ups jumping up and down and grinning inanely and what an incredible sense of community an anarchic parade like this creates. Amen! Here’s the evidence. This fine lady was giving out buttons that said I AM LOVED in lots of different languages Esther Robinson (a Swami here this year), with Sky Sitney (Silverdocs) Stephanie…
I arrived in Columbia, Missouri yesterday and was immediately swallowed up into the documentary joys of True/False (not to mention the excellent cheeseburgers at Booches). I’m about to join the March March parade up Broadway and then see Ondi Timoner’s We Live in Public followed by Jamie Jay Johnson’s Sounds Like Teen Spirit. My kind of Friday night! Here are some photos from the last 24 hours. True/False cupcakes in the Ragtag Me in a Jamie Jay Johnson (Director of…
These were the bumpers that preceded all the films at True/False. Parkour, or freerunning, is incredible to watch, the films are beautifully-made (directed by Nathan Truesdell), and the audience applauded each and every time which is not the usual response to a pre-film bumper! The last two are especially impressive so make sure you watch those.
It seems that those of us who were in Columbia over the weekend can’t help but spread the love. Danielle DiGiacomo wrote a lovely review of the fest on the IndiePix blog. I love the idea of David and Paul as “bold and foolish lambs” convincing the rest of us to leap with them. Here are some more pics – all taken by Shooting People’s Jesse Epstein who had a great short film called 34x25x36 at True/False. 34x25x36 is also…
I knew I was going to like True/False before I arrived in Columbia, Missouri for the first time this year. Everyone who has gone in the past has raved about how friendly and fun it is and how David Wilson and Paul Sturtz, the festival founders, always program a really interesting slate of films. I was not disappointed. In fact I was quite bowled over. The films were excellent, the parties were fun and everybody was so friendly it was…
I’m going to be attending the True/False Film Fest for the very first time next weekend. I can’t wait to discover why everybody loves this fest so much although I do know David and Paul, the fest founders, and they’re both thoroughly lovely people which must have a lot to do with it. I’m really looking forward to finally getting a chance to see Hold Me Tight Let Me Go and Please Vote for Me, both of which I hear…
