Maybe it’s the swine flu, or maybe it’s just a head cold. It feels like a head cold. Whatever it is, I’m not going to be spending this weekend at the film festival. Damn!

SFIFF Report: Sunday
Posted on April 27, 2009 by Lincoln Spector
I finally got to the San Francisco International Film Festival yesterday. I saw three movies there. One major concern–not surprising considering the economy: The place wasn’t as crowded as in past years. The first film I saw played to a near-empty house, and there was no waiting at the concession stand. Here’s what I saw: [...]

SFIFF Preview 4: Battle for Terra
Posted on April 21, 2009 by Lincoln Spector
Battle for Terra will screen twice during the first week of the San Francisco International Film Festival. Then, almost immediately, it will open for a regular release.

Film Noir Fest Coming to Roxie
Posted on April 15, 2009 by Lincoln Spector
Just in case the San Francisco International Film Festival leaves you wanting movies that are short, cheap, to-the-point, and both entertaining and depressing, the Roxie will offer a solution: From May 15 to the 28, they’ll screen I Wake Up Dreaming: the Haunted World of the B Film Noir, a series of 29 little-known, low-budget [...]

SFIFF Preview
Posted on April 15, 2009 by Lincoln Spector
Yesterday I attended press screenings of two films that will play at the San Fran International Film Festival. Both of them will have regular (or at least limited) runs after the festival, so they’re not now-or-never opportunities. I’ve written longer reviews of each, which will go live just before their post-festival releases. Adoration, Kabuki, Saturday, [...]
