Congratulations to my fellow @sffilm #filmhouse resident, Molly Stuart on her feature-length documentary, Objector, which was an official selection at both the St Louis Film Festival and Hot Springs Doc Fest @hsdff . Was happy to make it to the special, private screening at FilmHouse in #October #October2019 before its release. Objector focuses on ATALYA, obligated to become a soldier in Israel, but questions the practices of her country’s military. A moving, emotional, and empowering film #documentary @idfafestival #latergram #film #filmmaking #documentaryfilm (at SFFILM) https://www.instagram.com/p/B41so9tpj7h/?igshid=81vvtx2ey66q

2018 fall Arkansas film preview

Film offerings come into focus.

The Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, the crown jewel and elder statesman of our state's film festival circuit, returns to the Spa City Oct. 19-27 for nine days of features, shorts, episodic content and nonfiction virtual reality experiences. This marks the 27th year for America's oldest documentary film festival, and next month's installment is coming off the heels of last year's record-breaking attendance numbers for what was arguably the strongest lineup of films and guests in the festival's history.

Opening the festival this year is "Hillbilly," a personal and political look into the gap between media depiction of the Appalachians and real life. The centerpiece film this year is "The Gospel of Eureka," the buzzed-about documentary exploring the clash between LGBTQ and evangelical cultures in Eureka Springs. "Daughters of the Sexual Revolution: The Untold Stories of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders" closes the fest. General admission tickets are $12 a pop, day passes will run you $30, and three-day opening and closing passes are $120 each. For $225, the Film Buff Pass offers admission to all regular films during the festival, but the $400 All-Access Pass is the definitive way to go, with priority admission to screenings, awards ceremonies, the legendary HSDFF parties and a place to catch your breath in those cushy filmmaker and special guest lounges. For information on this year's screenings, passes and volunteer opportunities, go to hsdfi.org. 

If your tastes run more toward the sanguinary, Garland County still has you covered with the Hot Springs International Horror Film Festival, which raises the curtain Sept. 20 for a four-day run. It will feature 40 bloody, binge-ready films. R.A. Mihailoff, paranormal investigator, former professional wrestler and one of the honored few to slide into the Leatherface mask, leads a motorcycle ride from Rodney's Cycle House in Little Rock to Central Avenue for a private screening of his new biker flick, "Ride Hard Live Free." The immediately recognizable Michael Berryman ("One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "The Hills Have Eyes," and the 1991 video store classic "The Guyver") will attend his new film, "The Evil Within." Single tickets are $11, day passes are $20, four-day passes are $40. The VIP pass for all films and seminars is priced right at $95. 

If you find yourself in Northwest Arkansas that same weekend, slide into the Fayetteville Film Festival. From Sept. 20-22, FFF offers local and international shorts, experimental film, documentaries, virtual reality, block parties and after-parties — the whole shooting match — all on the Fayetteville square. Highlights include "All Square," starring Emmy-nominated Michael Kelly ("House of Cards") as a bookie running numbers on Little League games; "Wild Nights With Emily," featuring Molly Shannon ("Saturday Night Live") as — yes, you're reading this right and, yes, it is awesome — Emily Dickinson; "Fail State," an expose on the rise of for-profit colleges; 2018 SXSW Grand Jury Prize winner "Thunder Road"; and, happily for those who missed the sold-out Arkansas Cinema Society screening of the LR-made "Antiquities," it screens Friday night.

Little Rock's repertory film screenings seem to get more reliable by the year, too. Crush Wine Bar in Argenta now hosts a monthly series by the Film Society of Little Rock: Mel Brooks' "History of the World Part I" screens at 8 p.m. Sept. 13, and 1986's "Aliens," the sequel to James Cameron's 1979 high-water mark in sci-fi horror/thriller/action, comes to its back deck on Oct. 11. 

This newspaper's own monthly film series, programmed by "No Small Talk" podcast co-host Omaya Jones, keeps on rolling at the Riverdale 10. This month features Bob Fosse's spectacular 1979 film "All That Jazz" on Tuesday, Sept. 18. The venue also hosts radio-head Dave Elswick's long-running series: Oct. 9 is your chance to see "The Exorcist" on the big screen. Diamond Bear Brewery, now in the movie programming game, takes to the same theater for John Hughes' best movie (don't @ me), "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" on Oct. 23. 

And, as ever, keep your eyes open for announcements from the Arkansas Cinema Society. There are no officially announced ACS events for the fall just yet, but, we're told lots of exciting things are in the works. When it announces it, you know we'll run it — so stay tuned to the Rock Candy blog, check arkansascinemasociety.org, and follow the ACS Facebook page to find out what Little Rock's next hot film ticket will be.

Fall into film: 2017 Fall Arts film preview

Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, Horror Fest, Riverdale's Art House Day offer something for all.

For whatever reason, Arkansas's cinema cup seems to have runneth over in recent years, and I'm not talking about the 84-ounce, $7 bladderbuster you can buy at your local theater. From the long-running Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival to the long-mourned Little Rock Film Festival, to still newish offerings like the Bentonville Film Festival and the Arkansas Cinema Society, film buffs have a lot to be thankful for. That's especially so in the fall of the year, when a lot of the more brilliant stars in the state's silver screen firmament come out to shine. The biggest news in Arkansas film this fall is the 26th annual Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, which runs Oct. 6-15. Always a draw for lovers of nonfiction shorts and features, the HSDFF has a few extra reasons to celebrate this year. Its opening night film, for example, is "LADDIE: The Man Behind the Movies." The feature documentary, which includes commentary from luminaries like Mel Brooks and Morgan Freeman, is director Amanda Ladd's tribute to her father, the great film producer Alan Ladd Jr., who emerged from the shadow of his own famous father to carve out his bit of Hollywood greatness by producing a host of classic films, including "Alien," "Blade Runner," "Star Wars," "Braveheart," "Young Frankenstein," "Chariots of Fire" and "Police Academy." Kathleen Turner, the Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning star of such films as "Romancing the Stone," "Peggy Sue Got Married," "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and the Ladd-produced "Body Heat" will be on hand in Hot Springs to introduce the film and serve as the festival's honorary co-chair. The HSDFF has managed to score another big-name draw in booking an appearance by the masterful doc director Werner Herzog, director of such classics of the genre as "Grizzly Man," "Cave of Forgotten Dreams," "Encounters at the End of the World," and others. The festival hasn't announced whether Herzog will be screening a film, but meeting one of the great directors of our time is worth the price of admission, whatever he's going to do. Those are only two highlights of a festival with a slate of over 50 international documentaries — many with their filmmakers in attendance — plus parties and panel discussions and all manner of things to delight a cinephile. Ticket prices range from $10 for a single screening to $300 for an all-inclusive pass with priority admission. Visit hsdfi.org for more information.

Another light of Hot Springs film, though a decidedly darker one, is the Hot Springs Horror Film Festival, which rips into its fifth year of scares Sept. 21-24. The festival features over 50 shorts and features, from the eerie to the blood-drenched, with filmmakers on hand to discuss many of the films. Guest speakers include Bob Sheen — grandson of film and TV star Martin Sheen and the son of Mr. "Winning!" himself — who will be on hand to screen his horror film "The Rake." If you're into forensic investigation, a must-see attendee is Joseph Scott Morgan, who has appeared on shows across the cable spectrum to comment on cases ranging from the Jon Benet Ramsey murder to the Zodiac Killer. Tickets for the festival range from a $25 day pass to $55 for a full weekend badge. Festival sponsor Hot Springs Hotel and Spa is offering discounted rates for the weekend. For more information, visit the festival website at hot springshorrorfilmfestival.com

Another promising film event coming up soon is Riverdale 10 VIP Cinema's Art House Theater Day, starting at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 24. The five-picture mini-festival features some real gems, including "Stairway to Heaven" (1946), about a man who, thanks to a heavenly mix-up, survives a fall from a plane without a parachute. The film stars David Niven with Kim Hunter, Kathleen Byron and Sir Richard Attenborough. Also on the bill is the rarely seen 1967 documentary "Titicut Follies." An unflinching look at the conditions inside the Massachusetts State Prison for the Criminally Insane at Bridgewater, Mass., the film was one of several late-'60s efforts that led to reforms in the treatment of the mentally ill. Fans of foreign film will want to catch director Dmitri Kalashnikov's "The Road Movie." Created entirely from clips shot via automobile dashcams, the film captures surprising scenes of life in Russia, including the chaos following the assassination of a dissident leader and tanks rolling through a car wash. For more information on Riverdale's Art House Theater Day or to buy tickets, hit its website at riverdale10.com.

While it doesn't have any new events scheduled yet, another group to keep an eye on is the new Arkansas Cinema Society. The society, founded by Arkansas-born director Jeff Nichols ("Mud," "Take Shelter," "Midnight Special") and Kathryn Tucker ("Glee," "40," "Oblivion"), held its first festival Aug. 24-26. It was definitely a down payment on great things to come, bringing big name actor Adam Driver, who stars as "Star Wars" villain Kylo Ren, to town, along with up-and-coming director David Lowery ("Pete's Dragon," "Ghost Story") and producer Noah Stahl, whose film "Patti Cake$" was a Sundance hit. Check out the ACS website at arkansascinemasociety.org and follow its Facebook page to stay up to date on the society's future offerings.

In Arkansas for the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival. I'm staying at the famous Arlington Hotel. It's beautiful, but I feel like it's the hotel used in 'The Shining'...Needless to say it's not easy falling asleep at night. :) #HSDFF #ArlingtonHotel #BridegroomMovie #iThinkMyRoomIsHaunted (at Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa)
