Documentarians Go Against the Grain |
290 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE Atlanta, GA 30312 United States +1 404 522 0655 http://www.docufest.com/ |
Sometimes Hollywood can be overrated. DocuFest Atlanta was created to serve as an outlet and means of exhibition for artists whose works don't necessarily fit into the trendy Hollywood cinematic mold. The documentaries range from stories of immigrants crossing into the United States to the issue of sex tourism in the Caribbean. Some films are touching, some are gritty, and all films display the talent and passion of unique filmmakers. The festival is held at Eyedrum, and tickets can be purchased at $5 per event or $10 for the entire day and are on a first come, first served basis. Review © 2009, Wcities |
