Cinematexas 11 Starts Today

Starting today, Cinematexas #11 will present a cavalcade of international, narrative and experimental short films at venues all over Austin. Thematically, this year's festival is incredibly diverse, with subjects ranging from "provocative experiments with vintage 'skin flicks' to sobering documentaries on the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina." Screenings are taking place all over town, at unique venues like the east side's historic Victory Grille, so we recommend checking the schedule to see what looks tasty. Interesting side note: there was a rumor floating around that mash-up sensation Girl Talk is DJing one of the afterparties, but who knows? You didn't hear it from us.
