Austin Film Festival Unveils Second Wave Lineup Including 'All of Us Strangers,' 'Fingernails,' and More [Exclusive]

The Big Picture The Austin Film Festival is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, holding the milestone annual event from Thursday, October 26 through Thursday, November 2. Per usual, the festival showcases and celebrates the work of screenwriters and filmmakers across film, television, and other media. AFF aims to support screenwriters and other creatives, including for the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Alongside the mentioned films, AFF will host the world premiere for Gordon Shoemaker Foxwood's Wild Eyed and Wicked. The fantasy-horror follows Lily, who teams up with her estranged father to battle monsters haunting her. Heath Davis' Christmess will make its world premiere, another film centered on an estranged father-daughter relationship as the father, Chris , works to stay sober and reconnect with his daughter.

Synopsis: One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry, which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents, appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.
