Synopsis
Made In Texas: six films culled by Jonathan Demme on a visit to the Lone star State prove not only that independent features are alive and living on the Third Coast but they can outrun those by New York and Los Angeles indies. D. Boone's Invasion of the Aluminum People, a 45 minute super-8 extravaganza (possibly processed in a washing machine) is a video/film/music/jumpcut glaze by this tyro Godard who seems to be sired by Godard out of Don Siegel. Brian Hansen's' Speed of Light, is a New Wave melodrama that's as good looking as Written on the Wind. Carrie Rickey
