Filmstock 2014

Filmstock runs a set of four film festivals every year in the four corner states: New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. In addition to running a competition in each state each year, Filmstock cycles some of the winners around to screen as special engagements in other states, effectively working as its very own festival circuit.

I had a blast at the Arizona part of Filmstock 2013 and I'm looking forward to the three days this year at the Harkins Valley Art in Tempe and the festival parties at Rúla Búla.

Here are all the films screening at each of the four events this year, with titles linking to my reviews and the IMDb pages added for reference.
