The American Film Institute's AFI Fest returns to Hollywood tonight, opening with a gala screening of Saving Mr. Banks, Disney's own hagiography of their namesake and the story of how Mary Poppins was made. One week later the whole affair closes with the highly anticipated new Coen Brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis. Other major films screening at AFI include Alexander Payne's Nebraska and Ben Stiller's The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
While AFI Fest provides us an opportunity to catch these and other forthcoming films just before the Oscar season rush, what makes AFI Fest such a great festival is the abundance of world and independent films that may unfortunately be our only chance to ever catch them on a big screen in Los Angeles. You don't need another person to tell you to see the new Coen Brothers movie. Here's a list of ten smaller films that you should go out of your way to catch in the next seven days:
