Tiburon International Film Festival

~ Lincoln Spector

Just a quick note to tell you about the Tiburon International Film Festival, which runs from March 13 to the 21st. According to the press release, it’s “showcasing over 225 films from 94 countries.”

The Festival opens (and not at the Castro, for a change, but at Tiburon’s own Playhouse Theater) with a Spanish comedy called Twins for President, followed by a formal party at the Corinthian Yacht Club.

Festivities include tributes to John Wayne, Bob Rafelson, and Blake Edwards. Special effects animator Hal Hickel will discuss the making of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Panel discussions include “Film, Politics and Culture: How Films Shape Political Beliefs” and “New Technologies for Acquisition and Distribution.”
