Be Cool and Check Out the Full Frame Film Festival This Weekend in Durham

You know that the folks behind Durham's Full Frame Documentary Film Festival mean business when they open their annual event with The Kid Stays in the Picture. The 2002 film about legendary Hollywood producer Robert Evans may be the most entertaining documentary ever made.

Full Frame is underway now, but it isn't too late to get tickets and check out some of the classic documentaries and films making their world premier including Sex(Ed) the Movie. It explores how we (the TV generation) learned about the birds and the bees through pop culture. That may be the movie I'm most looking forward to seeing. It makes it's debut on Thursday afternoon at 4:00, but Full Frame dedicates its final day to awards and encores of the festival's most popular films.

The real highlight this year is a panel celebrating the 20th anniversary of Hoop Dreams. Director Steve James (who is the subject of this year's Full Frame Tribute) will be on hand along with the movie's subjects Shelia Agee and Arthur Agee Jr. to discuss the movie's lasting impact.
