Recovered From The ArchiveRecuperado del Archivo
The 2022 festival ran September 9–11 on the UNT campus in Denton (room names in the recovered schedule — RTF Lobby, Union 332/333 — point to UNT, not Rose Marine Theater). Its full program page was lost from the live site but survives in a Wayback Machine capture dated November 30, 2022, and is reproduced here nearly verbatim.
