The Dallas International Film Festival has played an increasingly meaningful part in the long tradition of film in Dallas. From my early days at SMU, going to the USA Film Festival on campus, I was able to have personal discussions with film directors and movie stars. Watching films that include a panel of those responsible for films, discussing it before or after the viewing, allows one to enjoy that film more and every other movie one sees more. The Closing Night at the Dallas International Film Festival celebrates a marathon of films and activities.
