The Austin Connection in Rochester, NY

St. Nick will next be coming to the 360/365 Film Festival at the famed George Eastman House in upstate New York. We'll be screening on May 7th, and followed by Bryan Poyser's Lovers Of Hate and Alex Karpovsky's Trust Us, This Is All Made Up. The following day, I'll be joining Bryan and Alex on a panel entitled 'The Austin Connection.'

Which, incidentally, is at odds with this article, in which I'm posited front and center in a Northward movement in the Lone Star state (and which also serves as a lovely capsule review of St. Nick). I'll admit I haven't done much to clear up the matter; up until recently, you'd find me either sidestepping my Dallas roots entirely or obfuscating their depth amidst the tangle of the last few years of travel. These days, I'm happy to be known simply as Texan; attribute to me a more precise heritage and I'll take it, especially when offered the warmth of this particular bit of reportage.

But back to upstate New York, a place I've never been but am very much looking forward to visiting, especially with the promise of finally catching the restoration of Powell & Pressburger's The Red Shoes and a conversation with Thelma Schoonmaker. Every festival St. Nick plays at these days I assume to be its last, and I'm always happy to be maybe going out on a good note, amongst good friends.
