SXSW Film Favorite Fish Kill Flea Returns to Austin

Easily one of our favorite films at this year's SXSW Film Festival, indie documentary Fish Kill Flea is returning to Austin tomorrow as part of the Austin Film Society's Texas Documentary Tour series.

Strange and funny and sad by turns, Fish Kill Flea is a candid, close-up portrait of a decaying mall in upstate New York that has become home to a popular flea market. But it's also a weighty, thoughtful meditation on the importance of preserving our culture—with a cast of characters so bizarre and interesting and likable that they almost seem unreal.

Filmmakers Brian Cassidy, Jennifer Loeber and Aaron Hillis will be in town to host a Q&A after the screening, and as an added bonus Brian and Jennifer will also present a slideshow of their photography from Fishkill, NY and the Dutchess Mall. Highly recommended.
