A little while ago, the Dallas Film Society -- which operates the Dallas International Film Festival, also known as The Film Festival Formerly Known as AFI Dallas International -- announced some changes at the top, the biggest of which has to do with Michael Cain being promoted to the title of chairman of the board. But his ascension up the ranks means Cain, who co-founded the Deep Ellum Film Fest before its three-year run with AFI, will actually have less to do with the festival than in years past. James Faust, who programmed the fest with coordinator Sarah Harris, will now be the artistic director, a title previously held by Cain.
The festival formerly known as AFI Dallas is in good hands.
