Announced Wednesday was the inception of the AFI Dallas International Film Festival. The American Film Institute, when it isn't busy making all kinds of lists, has a few festivals to juggle already. Dallas joins the ranks of AFI FEST, AFI Los Angeles IFF and SilverDocs.
AFI Dallas debuts March 22, 2007 and will run for 10 days. Target is already on board as a presenting sponsor, which includes underwriting two $25,000 prizes, one for dramatic and one for documentary features. The plan is to feature 150 films, which bodes for plenty of competition for the purse.
IndieWIRE reports that Michael Cain (not Michael Caine) is on board as the fest's artistic director; he founded the Deep Ellum Film Festival in the same city, and predictions are that it'll fade as this new kid in town grows stronger. Cain doesn't seem to mind, though, saying "We welcome this opportunity to work with the Dallas film and film festival community to bring the international cinema spotlight on Dallas."
Liener Temerlin, an AFI trustee credited as founder of the fest, penned a deal to put AFI's name on it for the next three years. In return, the Institute will lend its expertise in developing the festival.
Do you live in or around Dallas? How's this new festival going to impact the film scene?
