This Month:
Criticism Panel with Tim Regan-Porter (Paste Magazine), Matt Goldberg (Collider.com) and more to be announced. Music, art, film, theater, food, critics have been cultural guides and influencers for decades. Informing and shaping public opinion, they've been critical flashpoints for discussion and awareness. How have their respective areas changed, where are the new critics coming from and what does it take to do what they do? Join us for this discussion.

ATLFF Alums on DVD
Woodpecker (2008 ATLFF) Purchase the Movie
"... a beakful of yuks... 'Woodpecker' soars above the bulk of low-budget Amerindie farces, if not above the director's earlier 'The Hole Story', now a minor cult fave on DVD. A rare bird himself, Karpovsky remains one to watch." Rob Nelson, Variety
Skills Like This (2008 ATLFF) Purchase the Movie "Begins with an outrageous concept and takes it to the -- pun definitely intended -- max." - Gary, Wolcott, Tri-City Herald
My Effortless Brilliance (2008 ATLFF) Purchase Movie "My Effortless Brilliance is a well-executed dissection of a particularly complicated male friendship. As is the case in the real world, relationships like Eric and Dylan’s aren’t as simple as three-strikes-and-you’re-out." Michael Tully, Hammer to Nail

Comcast On Demand - ATL365 Recommends  Uncertainity
A young couple faces an important decision that they leave up to the chance of a coin flip. We see both outcomes simultaneously; one turns out to be a suspense thriller while the other is a small drama, so you get two for the price of one from the filmmakers who brought you The Deep End.
