This weekend, THE entertainment in Columbia will be the nonfiction film festival, the True/False Film Festival.  Films from Sundance, Toronto and other festivals will be showcased in a boutique festival with a down-home flea market flair.  True/False continues to bring together smart, impassioned and forward-thinking filmmakers with the best audiences in the world.

All of the venues are within blocks of each other and all events take place in the heart of downtown Columbia. The main venues are the Blue Note, the soon-to-open, two-screen Ragtag Cinema, the Forrest Theater at the Tiger Ballroom, as well as Stephens College's Macklanburg Playhouse, Windsor Auditorium and its little sister theater, The Den (normally called Charters Auditorium).

Once again, Cherry St. Artisan serves as the festival box office and headquarters, and it's your first stop to pick up your pre-ordered passes and ticket packages. For those who don't have passes, it's your first place to purchase individual tickets starting on Feb. 28. 

The updated schedule is now available on the True/False website http://www.truefalse.org/

The film I look forward to the most?  It's a tie between Joy Division and My Mothers Garden

Joy Division is the true story of the legendary band whose improbable ; brief rise may well have ressusicated the dying industrial town of Manchester, England.

AND

My Mothers Garden is the story of the filmaker's mom whose desire to hoard objects has become a dangerous disorder, making it neccesary for her family to intervene.
