WELCOME TO THE THIRD ANNUAL OAK CLIFF FILM FESTIVAL June 19–22 at the

historic Texas Theatre, Kessler Theater, Bishop Arts Theatre Center, and other

venues in North Oak Cliff.

Led by the Aviation Cinemas team, who took over operations at the Texas

Theatre in December of 2010, and backed by the 501 3(c) Oak Cliff Foundation,

the Oak Cliff Film Festival features the very best of Oak Cliff’s theater venues,

highlights the popular restaurants and bars in the area, and seeks to showcase

the best of independent and brave filmmaking of all stripes from Oak Cliff,

Dallas, Denton, Fort Worth, and Austin, as well as the rest of the country and the world.

This year the Festival is celebrating the legacy of pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge whose

innovations include the zoopraxiscope, a device many consider to be the first movie projector. The zoopraxiscope,

which projected images from rotating glass disks in rapid succession to give the impression of motion, led to the

development of Thomas Edison’s kinetoscope, the first commercial film exhibition system. OCFF hopes to highlight

the craft and the artistry of film and honor the tradition of work going back to Muybridge.
