Lights, Camera, Action: A Texas Film Celebration in Bryan!
Welcome to Bryan, Texas, where the magic of cinema is coming alive once again! The historic Queen Theatre has thrown open its doors for the much-anticipated Visions of Texas Film Festival, which kicked off this Tuesday. If you’re a film enthusiast or just someone looking for a fun night out, this festival is easily the place to be!
A Curated Selection Just for You
The festival is showcasing six iconic films that highlight all things Texan. What makes this festival extra special is the enthusiasm and care that the organizers have taken in selecting each film. Dan Humphrey, the Vice President of the Queen’s Film Society, says, “Every one of these films is handpicked because they benefit from the big screen experience.” Watching these films in a theater truly elevates the experience, allowing you to dive deeper into the storytelling and artistry that each movie brings.
A Movie for Everyone
The beauty of this festival is its variety. Each film belongs to a different genre, ensuring there’s something for everyone. From drama to comedy, and even a touch of the biopic, the festival covers a wide slate that can cater to any taste. In a world where we often watch movies on our TVs or handheld devices, the magic of hearing an explosive soundtrack or seeing stunning visuals on a gigantic screen cannot be overstated. Dan added, “There’s some films I feel you can watch on TV but even for *Selena*, you want a really good stereo system that a movie theatre has.” There’s undeniable excitement in the air as the community gathers to witness these timeless favorites on a massive scale.
Not Just Films – There’s More!
What adds even more excitement to the festival is the opportunity to hear from notable authors and scholars. Each screening is introduced by an expert who can offer insights that deepen the audience’s understanding of the film. This aspect makes the festival a unique educational opportunity as well as entertainment—something that fans of films, history, and culture alike will appreciate.
