Originally posted on the Filmmaker blog, here's Jamed Ponsoldt's post on the True/False Film Festival.
Last weekend, I was fortunate enough to find myself in Columbia, Missouri, for the fantastic True/False Film Fest.
True/False is one of the premiere documentary film festivals in the world, and it's distinctive not only for the inspired programming and thoughtful panels, but also because the filmmakers and audiences alike are treated really well. How many other film festivals feature a parade through town, buskers performing before each film screening, and a thank you video?
Centered around the beautiful Ragtag Theater in downtown Columbia, this year's festival killed.
In the next few days I'll add posts about some of my favorite films from the festival (like "Loot," "Glastonburykids," and "Fixer: The Taking of Ajmal Naqshbandi"), but for now, here's the magical, inspired "documentary" video that played before screenings at True/False.
