Mention “Austin” and “film festival” to a lot people, and they will probably think “South By Southwest.” But while that music-and-movie event inhales of lot of oxygen in the festival world in Texas, it is not the only chance to experience new films in the state’s capital. The Austin Film Festival has been around for more than two decades—it’s 22nd annual festival kicks off on Oct. 29—and unlike many film fests, it focuses on writers more than directors or even movie stars with panels, discussion events, and, of course, screenings. Guests expected to attend this year’s panels include CEO of crowdfunding platform Seed&Spark Emily Best; Richard Botto, CEO of Stage 32; writer-producer for “Justified” VJ Boyd; and dozens of others. We chatted with Fernando Martinez, Aff’s marketing director, about what sets it apart from other film festivals and some of the best programs coming up this year.
