It's a fairly recent re-pairing, the Austin Film Society and the Dobie Theatre, as this was the spot of the start of the society more than 20 years ago. This past year AFS@Dobie featured works from notable directors Lars von Trier, Ken Loach, and Johnny To, as well as timely documentaries like James D. Scurlock’s Maxed Out. Several award winners were spotted, too: The Wind That Shakes the Barley, winner of a Palme d’Or from Cannes, and three grand-jury prize-winners at Cannes and Sundance.
