A Few, Upcoming Mini-Festivals

~ Lincoln Spector

A few small, short festivals are coming up soon.

Iranian Film Festival, San Francisco Art Institute, September 18-19. While much of the American media is whipping us up to go to war with Iran, let’s do something very unpatriotic and learn something about the people. Actually, the films to be screened are not all from Iran, but they all deal with Iranian culture.

The Isle of Wright 40th Anniversary Film Festival, Red Vic, September 22 – 25. Over four days, the Red Vic will screen seven music documentaries shot at the British Woodstock—the legendary 1970 Isle of Wright festival.

International Children’s Film Festival, Embarcadero, September 24 – 26. If you can drag your heirs away from whatever current flick is enjoying a massive advertising barrage, they might enjoy these off-beat family films from around the world.
