Fontaine will be on hand to meet with audience members and answer questions. Other guest speakers include film directors Dorne Pentes, Nick Veronis, Lois Morneau, Leon Corces and Michael Bergman. Each director will take questions before the screenings of his or her films. Started in 1993, the Texas Film Festival brings to campus minority and independent filmmakers to showcase their work through presentations and screenings. The first night of the festival will feature a screening of four short films.
Admission is free.
Wendy Vinzant, chair of the Memorial Student Center Film Society, said movies were chosen on the basis of their artistic merits as well as their entertainment value to students and to the Bryan-College Station community. We want people to see films that are produced by independents and hopefully broaden their view of the kinds of films that are available.
