Austin Film Festival
Top 5 Documentaries
October 22 & 24, Austin, TX.

…”films of the nonfiction variety too often go unnoticed or under-appreciated. It’s safe to believe the eight films that make up Austin Film Festival’s 2010 Documentary Feature category have been chosen for good reason from among a mountain of entries.”

Ballhawks
Directed by Michael Diedrich Few other pastimes inspire the same kind of fanaticism that baseball does, and this documentary focuses on a small and dedicated group of Cubs fans as they hope to catch fly balls outside of Wrigley Field during the 2004 World Series. Narrated by Bill Murray.
