I don’t know how I do it, but I’ve attended three film festivals this year and in every case, have somehow managed to avoid seeing anything significant. That trend continued this past week as I worked my way through AFI Dallas. I saw a lot of movies, but absolutely none of these: AFI Dallas's 2008 award winners.
The AFI Dallas International Film Festival jury handed out their batch of awards this evening, as the second annual fest closed down, and sent all of its volunteers home without a Charlize Theron autograph. We have a complete list of all the winners. Here they are:
TARGET TEN NARRATIVE FEATURE: Mermaid
TARGET TEN DOCUMENTARY FEATURE: Iron Ladies of Liberia
CURRENT ENERGY EARTH FRIENDLY: Fields of Fuel
MPS STUDIOS TEXAS: Cook County
HDNET FEATURE: Tracing Cowboys
