The fourth annual DOCtoberFest features four heralded documentaries, including Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me (pictured) which chronicles the short-yet-resonant career of the Memphis power-pop pioneers, Author: The JT Leroy Story, a bizarre tell of writing and persona, The First Monday in May, a paean to the fashion world, and The Lovers and the Despot, the story of a Korean director and actress who fell in love in 1950s post-war Korea.
