Irish film Róise and Frank tells the story of a widow who bonds with a dog she believes is the reincarnation of her late husband.
The festival will feature more than 45 films from creators across the globe, all of which are about or include animals.
Throughout the weekend, organizers will screen the films in blocks at Slab Cinema Arthouse (134 Blue Star) and Blue Star Brewing Co. (1414 S. Alamo St. #105). On Saturday, Alamo City Studios (1113 E. Houston St.) will host a series of workshops and classes.
Notable film selections include Cannes Golden Eye and Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning documentary All That Breathes — which depicts two brothers' quest to protect the black kite bird in New Delhi — and the Texas premiere of Irish film Róise and Frank — which tells the story of a widow who bonds with a dog she believes is the reincarnation of her late husband.
Others on the bill include San Antonio filmmaker Esmeralda Hernandez's short "Dream Carriers" and The Message of the Lyrebird, a documentary about the enigmatic Australian bird species with an uncanny talent for mimicry.
$20-$100, times vary, Nov. 25-27, Blue Star Arts Complex, 1414 S. Alamo St., animalisfabula.org.
