MC Frontalot.

We’re still a couple days away from the release of the line-up for this year’s Hot Springs Documentary Film Fest (Oct. 17-26), but I have tidbits. Buzzy documentary “Nerdcore Rising” is screening, and genre hero MC Frontalot will be in the building and possibly performing somewhere around town. More excitingly, at least for film geeks, Albert Maysles (“Gimme Shelter,” “Grey Gardens”) will be on hand. Also, Bela Fleck is coming with the documentary “Throw Down Your Heart: Bela Fleck Brings the Banjo Back to Africa.“It picked up the audience award at SXSW. Fleck’s probably going to perform, too.

I’ll give you more details when I’ve got them.
