How well do you know the effervescent Itzhak Perlman? Alison Chernick's documentary about the great violinist is a delightful portrait of the man and the myth.

I saw a lot of shorts at the Austin Revolution Film Festival (ARFF), September 19-23. Short films, of course.

Does war serve any purpose for the little people who fight it?

What is the controversy surrounding Andrew Wakefield and the MMR vaccine?

What do you know about the great American playwright Arthur Miller?

What if an earthquake, hurricane made you homeless? What if it was a war?

'The Big Sick' is one of the year’s biggest comedy smashes and one of the year’s best films.

The octogenarian director's latest work is energetically bizarre and surprisingly touching.

Dances With Films (DWF) wants you to see their shorts. Is a short film just like a narrative or documentary feature, only shorter? Sometimes. But, if we compare a narrative feature to its inspiration – the novel – to what can we compare short films?
