For all of you International Film buffs, the event of the year is finally here. That's right - The Indianapolis International Film Festival. The Festival is being held at the IMA from July 14 - 24, 2011.  Here is a bit of information (from the website) for those of you who may be unfamiliar with the festival:

Since 2004, the Indy Film Fest has quickly grown into one of the Midwest’s fastest-growing and most-watched film festivals — and one of the most valued annual cultural events in the city. With attendance growing every year, we continue to deepen our impact on the city and the film community worldwide. Featuring the best in independent and innovative film from both award-winning professionals and emerging filmmakers, we’ve exhibited films from nearly every state in the country and more than 50 countries around the globe.

Opening and Closing events include a Photo Booth with their new sponsor - Smallbox. They'll be using the photo booths from Spinshot.  How fun is that? 

One of the films that looks really good to me is Angela. This film is about childhood sweethearts who run into each other later in life  - he is now a teacher and she is now the young woman who begs in front of the school. Upon running into each other, she is ashamed and runs off. He is curious and begins shadowing her. This is a film from David Maye - Switzerland. The language is French with English subtitles.
