"As a documentarian I happily place my fate and faith in reality." -A. Maysles
Every year Albert comes to VideoFest to present the AL MAYSLES AWARD. This award is given to young documentary filmmakers that have inspired Mr. Maysels to pass the lens to them. And whose work has the vision and heart of discovery.
This year's recipient will be Lynn True for the documentary Summer Pasture.
Since the beginning of VideoFest there has been the Texas Show. It's been the closing night program for 23 years. We take all the shorts submitted that were made, directed or produced by Texans and have an independent jury select the best of Texas shorts. Usually a collection of dramas, comedies, documentaries, and experimental work it offers the diversity as big as...well, you know.
