Atlanta Film Festival in Review

Well this wasn't one of the best lineups I've seen at the Atlanta Film Festival, but perhaps I just made some really bad scheduling choices. I did see two great films and some interesting documentaries. Below you can find links to my daily coverage of the festival, followed by my own award winners...


Day Two (The TV Set, King of Kong)
Day Three (All the Days Before Tomorrow, Third Monday in October, Away From Her)
Day Four (Drifting Elegant)
Day Six (Park, Kamp Katrina, Great World of Sound, Somebodies, Elephant King)
Day Seven (Election Day, Pretty in the Face, Last Days of Left Eye)
Day Eight (American Fugitive: The Truth About Hassan, The Insurgents)
Day Nine (Montclair, Blood Car, Rocket Science)
