American Film Renaissance

I had no idea "the first and only pro-American film festival in the country" took place in Dallas over the weekend (September 10 to 12).

According to their website, 21 films were going to be shown during the 3 day festival. The list is here.

I'd like to know what conservatives thought about the film festival and how it went. Addtionally, here is commentary from Slate on the festival: Sundance for Republicans.

I just found out that there was a liberal festival held in Fair Park from September 10 to 11. The Dallas Morning News has a list of films shown at the Take Back Democracy Film Festival. Included in the same article is a short summary of the films shown at the American Film Renaissance.

I wish I knew earlier. (You can see how in touch with the rest of the world I am.) I might have considered going to both festivals. Maybe next year, eh?

EDIT: I found another article on the AFR at Salon: Flicks for the far right
