Denton's Thin Line Film Fest 2013 Opens this Friday, 2/8

The Thin Line Film Fest, Texas' only international documentary film festival, arrives in Denton this week and brings with it dozens of films covering an array of topics for all interests and age ranges. From tales of personal tragedies and triumphs, to inspiring stories of human perseverance and courage, or the entertaining journeys of Denton's own independent bands, Trebuchet and Snarky Puppy, there are stories to be told. More than 40 filmmakers will be on hand to discuss their films and speak with attendees before the screenings or at any of the festival's after-parties throughout Denton.

The Thin Line Film Fest kicks off this Friday with the critically-acclaimed and Sundance award-winning feature film, Blood Brother, which follows a young man named Rocky Braat on his travels to India as a disillusioned American Tourist. But, when he meets a group of children with HIV/AIDS - he decided to stay. He never could imagine the obstacles he would face, or the love he would find. Blood Brother is screening at the Campus Theatre in downtown Denton, 2/8 at 8pm.

Notable films and event throughout the 10-day festival, include:
