Tales of the City: San Francisco Film Roundup
Filed under: Tales of the City, San Francisco International Film Festival
Yes, the 49th Annual San Francisco International Film Festival begins today -- Whoo-hoo! We at Cine will have our
capsule reviews starting tomorrow, but if you're looking for overviews and reviews right now, both the SF Weekly and the SFBG have great stuff. Michael Fox talks to -- and about -- new
Executive Director Graham Leggat in the Weekly, and Johnny Ray
Huston has more at SFBG.com. Plus, the SFBG has plenty of
capsule reviews and more, including ever-ready Cheryl Eddy's interview with the directors of Metal: A Headbanger's Journey
as well as the irreplaceable B. Ruby Rich's talk with Sarah
Watt, the animator-turned-live-action-director behind Look Both Ways. The fest goes on until the fourth --
at which point it closes with A Prairie Home Companion, which, to be blunt, I walked out of -- and there's
plenty to see and do at between now and then. Of course, if you're looking for less 'high art' and more just plain 'high,' there's a 4:20 PM screening of The Big Lebowski at the Red Vic today. Aah, multi-layered stoner humor. It's like a breath of dank, weed-filled air.
