$1 million may have been a paltry punch line in Austin Powers, but it's a major boon for the AFI-Dallas International Film Festival. That's the amount that Dallas philanthropist Nancy Hamon recently bestowed upon the festival, which will launch its second installment March 27 of next year. The gift is the largest in the festival's brief history. Festival artistic director and CEO Michael Cain says that “Mrs. Hamon’s support will allow us to focus on many of our objectives including year-round screenings and intensive educational programs in Dallas schools and universities.” Mrs. Hamon says the decision was easy when festival founder, chairman and director Liener Temerlin called her for help. "I wanted to do what I could to help this great film festival become one of the best in the country," she said in a statement. "Dallas deserves it." |
