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.

If you don't take the truth too seriously, you seem to find many things easier. Be it in your professional or private life. Rudolf Langenegger is a politician and husband and a prime example of both genres. The inventive National Councillor on the wrong track is only surpassed by his wife Sylvia. And so it happens that she meets up with her "one afternoon stand" at the same time in the same hotel as her husband with his mistress. As the unfaithful halves of the couple want to enjoy themselves door to door, i.e. suite to suite, it doesn't take long for events to unfold that send everyone involved into the dead end of their excuses at breakneck speed.

As I typed this, Chris Evans was being “cancelled” on Twitter. I did a little research on this since I always thought Chris Evans was well-received. It turns out the backlash is because of a white savior movie he made called Red Sea Diving Resort.
Eternals is an interesting concept and unique visuals, but slow pacing and rushed character development suggests it should have been a mini-series.
"Come Play" was entertaining and had some great ideas about how to scare children away from playing with facial recognition settings.
A young girl named Copi and her pet dog Xico travel into the mountain when they hear that something's not right.
Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.
