Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman’ kicks off Round Top Film Festival debut

The first episode of “Landman,” the new Texas-set series from “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan, kicks off the inaugural Round Top Film Festival Nov. 7 at 18.30. Series co-creator Christian Wallace will be present for a question and answer session after the screening.

“Landman” stars Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, Demi Moore and James Jordan in a story of business clashes and romantic clashes in the West Texas oil fields. Filmed in Tarrant, Weatherford and Young Counties, the series begins streaming on Paramount+ on November 17.

The Round Top Film Festival runs November 7-10 at Festival Hall and the 550 District in central Round Top.

Other films in the lineup include the documentary “Dolly Parton: Bigger Hair, Bigger Heart,” the centerpiece “Sheepdog,” starring Vondie Curtis-Hall and Virginia Madsen, and the closing night film “Behind the Lines,” a documentary based on Andrew Carroll’s best-selling books “Letters of a Nation”, “Behind the Lines” and “War Letters”, all of which focus on historically important correspondence.

Additionally, there will be a screening of Richard Linklater’s 2016 “Everybody Wants Some” with cast members Temple Baker and Will Brittain participating in a Q&A. There will also be a screening of the 1995 film “Apollo 13” with a Q&A with co-screenwriter Bill Broyles Jr. and novelist/Texas Monthly contributor Stephen Harrigan.

The documentary “Takin’ Care of Business” chronicles the journey of guitarist Randy Bachman, one of the driving forces behind the bands The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, to find his beloved 1957 Gretsch guitar, which was stolen.
