East Side

Patricia Nogueira, Carlo Nasisse

Pet rams, streetside accordionists: East Austin is certainly not lacking in character. But as Texas’s capital city gentrifies, the neighborhood’s spirit fades. This melancholy documentary is the second film by Indie Grits alum Carlo Nasisse to screen in the festival— Coby & Stephen Are in Love appears in On Love & Other Connections.
