St. Louis Film Festival Continues To Grow
The St. Louis Film Festival - officially, the 20th annual Stella Artois St. Louis International Film Festival - will be bigger than ever this year, with 142 feature-length films and 257 shorts. Whether this year's 10-day festival will also be better than ever remains to be seen, but the prospects are promising. The schedule is rich with prestigious movies that are almost certain to be part of the conversation at awards time. But there are also plenty of well-regarded, relatively obscure independent films, the kind of movies that, in some cases, can be seen by St. Louisans on the big screen at the film festival, or not at all. They represent the real gems of the festival for serious film fanatics.
