Production fund panelists screen their work
Filmmakers Sam Green (“The Weather Underground”) and So Yong Kim (“Treeless Mountain”) and Mike Plante, director of the CineVegas Film Festival, make up this year’s panel that will select recipients of the annual Texas Filmmakers’ Production Fund.
The panelists/jurors will choose what film and video artists will get $100,000 in cash, goods and services based on their work and works-in-progress. The Austin Film Society received 244 applicants this year, the most in its 14-year history.
Per tradition, the panelists will screen one of their films while they’re in Austin:
So Yong Kim shows her drama “Treeless Mountain” at 7 p.m. Aug. 12 at the Alamo South.
Sam Green screens his Oscar-nominated doc “The Weather Underground” at 9:25 p.m. Aug. 12 at the Alamo South.
Mike Plante shows his in-progress doc “Be Like an Ant” at 7 p.m. Aug. 13 at the Austin Studios Screening Room.
The shows are free, but reservations are recommended HERE.
Recipients of this year’s grants will be announced Aug. 17.
