There a terrific article in The Independent that highlights the 2011 Full Frame Festival. Here’s a brief excerpt:

“It’s hard to believe, but Full Frame Documentary Film Festival is well into its second decade. There’s now a generation of people in the Triangle who plan their springs around the 100-plus documentaries that will screen over four intoxicating days beginning Thursday.

Programming director Sadie Tillery led an effort to locate some of the most exciting new work from around the world. Some films arrive with a certain amount of advance buzz, while others remain to be discovered by North Carolina audiences. While the venues are the same as last year, the Civic Center screening rooms have been expanded from 310 seats each to 470 apiece—a startling 52 percent increase in capacity.”
