I never want this to be as timely as it is, but with every passing day (esp this last week) I'm really grateful that the membership of @atxfilmcritics.bsky.social passed a statement on AI usage this year. It's on our Awards Page, and it's one I'm proud we support. austinfilmcritics.org/afca-awards/

The AFCA is pleased to announce six new members joining our roster this year. A warm welcome to them all! t.co/Ozsw6r0h3j

THE LIFE OF CHUCK. A slow cooking balm for the soul. Just a perfectly poignant, elegantly uplifting, and wonderfully wrought work. #thelifeofchuck

THE LIFE OF CHUCK is a masterpiece, a life affirming jolt straight to the heart that you must see. Absolutely floored. Bravo, @mikeflanaganfilm.com.

You can have the highest expectations and still have them miraculously surpassed. Achingly intimate yet so ambitious in scope, so full of joy and kindness even when everything’s at its darkest. Like a hug from the universe before stepping boldly into the unknown. What a film, @mikeflanaganfilm.com.

LILO & STITCH is solid stuff! One of the better Disney remakes I've seen. Also God Bless Billy Magnussen for embracing his place in the Disney Himbo pantheon, he's delightful.

#LiloandStitch keeps the charm and fun of the original and adds an expanded focus on family that gives it a modern and relatable angle. Probably the best live action Disney adaptation yet.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our special screening of SING SING today, and again to the good people at AFS Cinema for hosting us.

#Austin, get out of the cold today and seat yourself down for this heart-warming work. SING SING, winner of the AFCA Best Austin Film Award, screening today at 12:30pm with a special introduction. 🍾🎬

20th Annual Austin Film Critics Awards - Nominaciones (@atxfilmcritics.bsky.social) aporeloscar.com/20th-annual-...

The ATX Film Critics Association noms are really really fantastic

Really excited for our incredible roster of nominations! Congratulations to all.

I had hoped that genre favorites like Love Lies Bleeding and The Substance would get some down ballot consideration in this year's @atxfilmcritics.bsky.social voting. Instead, they fucking DOMINATED. My civic pride is at an all-time high.

The AFCA's most special award: The 2024 Best Austin Film Award. Out of 17 eligible titles, here's the five shortlisted titles Fugitive Dreams, directed by Jason Neulander, starring Robbie Tan and April Matthis.

The Austin Film Critics Association is proud to announce the nominees for its 2024 awards. Leading the list are The Brutalist with 10 nominations, Dune: Part Two with 8, and Anora and The Substance on 7 each.

Congratulations to the nominees of this year’s @atxfilmcritics.bsky.social’s Austin Film Award:

Yoooo follow us Austin Film Critics. We're nice!

Our Austin film critics association members and local film friends. We’ll update as we can. go.bsky.app/6Ax68PM

OK, I just added about 40 new Bluesky arrivals to the Film Critic Starter Pack, which leaves me awfully close to the cap of 150 accounts. Going to stop for now -- apologies if you didn't make the cut at this point, no judgment intended -- and will add more later, maybe start a second pack. #filmsky
