Dear all, Back in October we posted a call for submissions here for Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN. As a followup we wanted to share the (mostly) complete film lineup, which features visiting filmmakers Roger Beebe, Jem Cohen, Jonathan Demme, Kevin Jerome Everson, Janie Geiser, and Bill Morrison.

The screening will include a discussion with Dr. Charles Maland, editor of the new volume, *The Complete Film Reviews and Criticism of James Agee*, and will be followed by a walking (and drinking) tour of Agee's Knoxville. All of this is in addition to the typically strong music lineup, now approaching 100 performances: http://bigearsfestival.com In the interest of transparency, we received 80 submissions and invited 12 of them to screen at the fest. Another submission, William Randall's *Methane Ghosts*, didn't fit in the Big Ears lineup so we invited it to screen, instead, at The Public Cinema before our recent showing of Deborah Stratman's *The Illinois Parables*. In the end, premiere status had no bearing in our selection process.

We plan to keep our submission form free and open throughout the year, so please keep The Public Cinema and Big Ears in mind as a venue for your work. http://www.publiccinema.org/submit/ Darren Hughes & Paul Harrill *The Public Cinema*
