Diversity Programming At The Austin Film Festival
Coverage from the Austin Film Festival, highlighting some panels and films that emphasized the importance of diverse and inclusive storytelling.

Conspiracy of Lies speaks of alienation and minorities, consumer culture, urban isolation, and the fine balance between mental order and chaos. The tape begins with a voice recounting the story of the discovery of a series of diary entries and lists written by an anonymous author. Through the use of twelve different narrators, an attempt is made to destabilize pre-existing assumptions concerning the voice of the author.

I like discovering something new among the old and Tubi has an assortment of horror films from cinema's past for just such an occasion.
‘Sexy Beasts’ promotes itself as different from other dating shows as being not appearance-based. This is true to some extent thanks to the special effects makeup. However, looks do still play a role despite the masks.
‘The Bear’ Season 2 has all the right ingredients for both comedy and drama.
A teen comedy that nobody wants to see.
It only seems to prove that when the company had their backs against the wall and needed an all pleasing, generic movie that had to make up for The Last Jedi, they chose to sacrifice almost everything that made their main protagonist interesting and that made her stand out as the strong female character that a generation of young movie goers was supposed to look up to. Instead, we were left with a Rey that was so much less than she could have been. And I guess that’s the real story of Rey and The Rise of Skywalker; they could have been so much more, but they were just more of the same.
