True/False Fest – Highlights

*Update* Pictures are down for some reason, but I will get them working again soon.

I am sure that everyone is tired of my updates, to which I will say, “you don’t have to read them”.  But like any good….decent…alright mediocre blogger, I have to give an overall impression of my time at the festival along with the highlights, never focusing on the negatives.So this will be a compilation of my favorite documentaries at the festival, what I enjoy in terms of screenings and lastly, photos and videos.  While not professional photos or videos in any way, still a little piece of True/False Fest to take home.  So away we go.

Also here are the links to the recaps of each day of the festival if you have read them

True/False Fest Day Four

Well folks, it has come time for me to close out my first ever True/False Film Fest.  It has been an amazing time, but I will do an overview to the whole festival with pictures and videos and a bunch of praise.  For now I want to keep this recap strictly to the films and experiences I had during the festival and get you excited for upcoming, full length reviews.

Like every morning, I get up, change and head out to grab some grub courtesy of Lakota and their Chai and pastries.  One the agenda for the final day of the festival were 4 films and a closing party to end the fest.  What I didn’t realize once I started the day as to how sad I was that this was all ending and the fact that my first film was a powerful and touching documentary on the struggles of AID’s activists in the mid 80s and early 90s.  As a straight male, I don’t have a frame of reference to connect with them on a lifestyle level, but the film pulled you in at an emotional level that leaves you with a hopeful outlook.
