Lubbock Culture Minipost - Flatland Film Festival this Weekend!

flatlandfilm.org

Yep, it's that time again and this time I am giving you some advanced notice! The FFF happens on Thursday-Saturday of this week. Here's the schedule:

 

The FFF is my favorite annual event in Lubbock and I strongly urge you to go check it out for yourself. I have to admit that I was a little disappointed last year when I found out that the festival would not include the short film segment. But that's not a problem this year - the shorts are back at 9pm on Friday.

 

If you're a fan of local music, the festival has a treat for you as well. Flat land and Open Skies appears to be a comprehensive documentary that outlines the Lubbock music scene over several decades...and there will be a performance by the Lubbock Allstar Band after the closing reception. If you only attend one cultural event in Lubbock this year...well, you know the rest.

 

May you enjoy getting to know your neighbors!

 

PS. Please tell Scott Faris that the Mesquite Hugger sent you!

Lubbock Culture: Flatland Film Festival

As per usual with this blog, this is a bit late in the delivery...

Lots of cool things happen around the LHUCA, but my favorite annual event there is the Flatland Film Festival. This year's festival caught me off guard. With anniversaries and elections and lots of other stuff going on, it slipped my mind to get the word out. So, here it is half over, but there is still a lot to see.

A blue heron from Yakona, a visual journey through the history of the San Marcos River - this film looks amazing!

Tonight: 6pm Yakona, 8pm Madly (Taylor Shofner screenlay reading), and 12am Why Don't You Play in Hell? There will be three short films between Yakona and Madly)

Saturday Night: 7pm Que Caramba es la Vida, Closing Reception 9:30

May you go and have a wonderful time!
