Janis Joplin and Kid ‘n Play highlight Houston Cinema Arts Festival’s Texas-centric lineup

Everything’s bigger in Texas, including the 2015 Houston Cinema Arts Festival.

The lineup, unveiled at a cocktail party at the Alley Theatre Tuesday night, has been expanded to eight days with 60 narrative and documentary films, up from 50 last year, and a wide array of live performances. The festival, which celebrates artists in the visual, performing and literary arts, runs from November 12 -19.

The iconic hip-hop duo Kid ‘n Play — Christopher “Kid” Reid and Christopher “Play” Martin — will celebrate the 25th anniversary of their cult classic House Party, with a screening at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, on November 14, followed by an audience Q&A session. The pair will also perform the movie’s “rap battle” scene at Montrose-area cafe, Brasil.
