United Nations Film Festival

~ Lincoln Spector

Worried that October doesn’t have enough film festivals? Here’s another.

The 11th United Nations Association Film Festival runs October 19-26 in various Bay Area location. It will screen 41 films from assorted countries. This year’s theme is Blue Planet, Green Planet.

I have not seen any of the films listed, and between other festivals, Jewish holidays, a very important election, and gainful employment, I doubt I’ll get a chance. That’s too bad, because the festival contains several films that I’m already feeling guilty I missed, including Taxi To the Dark Side, Flow, and All Together Now (which recently played at Mill Valley).

There are also movies that I–and you–haven’t had a chance to see before, including three world premieres: Belonging, Immaculate Confession, and La Americana. Other films of note include Trouble the Water, Oscar winner Freeheld, and something called My Daughter the Terrorist.
