  • AFI FEST: Audience and Jury Awards announced

    I haven’t been able to do much at AFI Fest this year, but a last-minute decision to see “Eraserhead” and a secret bow for “The Fighter” have been rewarding experiences. And I believe I’ll take in the LA premiere of “Black Swan” tonight as well.

    I’m heading out the door or else I’d do more than simply cut and paste this release, but alas, the news should be conveyed:

    LOS ANGELES, CA, November 11, 2010 — AFI FEST 2010 presented by Audi announced today the four feature and two short films that are the recipients of this year’s Audience and Jury Awards. The films will screen again today at Mann Chinese 6 Theatres. Admission is available to AFI FEST 2010 passholders and the general public via the Rush Line, which begins forming one hour before each film’s scheduled screening start time. For showtimes, visit AFI.com/AFIFEST.

    The rest of the release after the jump.
