#SFIFF57 Day 12: Cosmic Flower Unfolding & animated shorts program. Also: Manakanama screens @sundancekabuki house 1!
It's unfortunately at "Rush" status but 1 of my favorite #SFIFF57 features has a final screening today. Clu bSandwich
Day 8 #SFIFF57 pick: All That Jazz at @BAMPFA tonight at 8:30. Yes, it's showing on DCP but I talk about that. #SFIFF
Tonight's #SFIFF57 daily pick at my blog: Catherine Breillat's Abuse of Weakness (no, I haven't seen it yet, but...)
#SFIFF57 pick for Day 7: Jeremy Irons in person at the Kabuki tonight with a 35mm showing of Reversal of Fortune
Today's #SFIFF57 pick: Tsai Ming-Liang's Stray Dogs, which knocked me over last night & shows again today & tomorrow
Manakamana (Spray & Velez 13) Sometimes one solid, simple idea is all you need for a good film. Permutations can follow. #SFIFF57
I was able to run-down all of the 35mm, 16mm & Super-8 screenings I'm aware of at this year's #SFIFF57 in a single paragraph.
My #SFIFF57 day 4 pick: Paul Clipson's Bright Mirror, one of very few new festival films screening ON film this year.
Club Sandwich (Eimbcke 13) Funny & poignant look into how teens (& moms) communicate so much through what they don't say or do. #SFIFF57
Today's daily #SFIFF57 blog: Santa Cruz Del Islote, short doc made on the world's densest island, by local filmmaker:
It's official: a 35mm print of Reversal Of Fortune will screen at Wednesday's @SFIFF Jeremy Irons tribute. #SFIFF57
But expect #sfiff57 revivals All That Jazz, Manila in the Claws of Light, Queen Margot, The Lady Eve to be digital screenings.
Sean Uyehara corrected Rosen: both #sfiff57 @Castro_Theatre live music nights will involve 35mm prints. The Unknown from Eastman House!
Rachel Rosen: "16mm is going to outlast 35mm in the festival setting." Experimental shorts program may be only celluloid in #sfiff57
Off my radar until seeing in #sfiff57 program: new film by Nobuhiro Yamashita, 225-minute documentary Agnes Varda: From Here To There
#sfiff57 brings fest circuit musts to SF: Our Sunhi, Night Moves, Stray Dogs, Manakamana, Norte the End of History, Tip Top, We Are The Best
