The DALLAS International Film Festival at the Angelika Film Center at Mockingbird Station located in East Dallas featured the documentary film Thunder Soul about Houston’s legendary Kashmere High School Stage Band. Movie patrons from across Dallas, including residents from the Park Cities, Turtle Creek Corridor, and Kessler Park, enjoyed viewing the film and hearing Mark Landsman, the director of the film, discuss this incredible story of how low income kids formed the first black high school show band that went on to win the national championship and tour Europe.

Meeting the actors, directors, producers, critics and Dallas homeowners who love film is one of the great joys of the DALLAS International Film Festival. The red carpet allows photographs, the lobby and auditoriums allow conversation, and the after parties are, well, after parties. The Dallas and Los Angeles art communities are well represented at these events.
