STF kicked off its fall season on Sept 23 with the opening night sneak preview of AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD which will have its official US premiere at the Woodstock Film Festival next month. STF inaugurated a new location for its post-screening gathering: the Fat Black Pussycat conveniently located at 103 West 3rd St across from the IFC Center. As usual, the STF audience contained many notable figures from the New York documentary community.
Pictured here are:

Here’s one more reason not to delay buying a STF fall season pass. On Mon, Oct 27, pass holders will be treated to a special advance screening of Astra Taylor’s EXAMINED LIFE which recently had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and will be released theatrically next year.
In today’s New York Sun, S. James Snyder writes that STF “has become an increasingly important pit stop for projects in need of exposure. Having cultivated a loyal following of attendees and offered some filmmakers their entrée into the New York movie scene, Stranger Than Fiction is more than just a weekly film series; it’s often a celebration” of documentary films.
