IndieFest

~ Lincoln Spector

Another big film festival on the way. IndieFest (AKA, The Tenth Annual San Francisco Independent Film Festival) opens February 7 and plays through the 20th. Venues include the Castro, the Roxie, and the Victoria Theater.

It starts on Thursday the 7th at the Castro (all festivals start on a Thursday night at the Castro…it’s the law) with Shotgun Stories, the story of a modern-day rural family feud, and ends nearly two weeks later with Gus Van Sant’s latest work, Paranoid Park.

Van Sant’s contribution is the only film I’ve heard of, and I’ve yet to see any of them (that is sort of the point). Among the more curious-sounding titles on the schedule are Sexina: Popstar, P.I., Driving To Zigzigland, and Alligator On the Zipper. There’s also an Armenian “screwball” comedy called A Big Story in a Small City. Sounds good.
