The 9^th Dallas International Film Festival opens Thursday night at the Majestic Theater. Films will also screen at the Angelika Film Center, Klyde Warren Park and other venues across town over the next 11 days. This week, we talk about the films we’re most looking forward to, which may be the first time Blythe Danner, Evel Knievel and Dirk Nowitzki have all been mentioned in the same discussion. Check back here over the next week or so for more recommendations.
