SUMMARY:RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: THE ADAPTATION
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for RAIDERS: ADAPTATION at 518 Val Sun Feb 4\, 1p HERE\n  \nDirector Eric Zala – 1982-1989 USA 100 min – IndieFest 2005 program note: \n  \nIndieFest is delighted to host this extremely rare presentation of the semi legendary shot-for-shot re-creation of Raiders of the Lost Ark made by three 12 year-olds in Mississippi. \nEric Zala\, Jayson Lamb and Chris Strompolos started shooting in 1982 – and didn’t have a clue what they were getting themselves into. Their production wrapped in 1989\, and was shelved and forgotten until 2003 when Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) screened a bootleg copy in the middle of the night at Austin’s legendary Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. The rest is history. \nTheir ingenuity is astonishing: watch for the rolling boulder\, a submarine\, live snakes\, the heart-thudding truck sequence\, the melting face\, the same copy of a 1936 Life magazine that was used in the original\, and everywhere flames\, flames and more flames. They did a few inventive substitutions: puppy for monkey\, boat for plane – but they got a submarine! What makes it more amazing is that there was no reference copy of the original for the kids to watch. Eventually\, they (mysteriously) obtained an audiotape of the film recorded in a theater and worked from that. I love these guys! \nA feature film based on their childhood is now in production with Dan (Ghost World) Clowes penning the script\, which resulted in Producer Scott Rudin buying the intellectual property rights to their childhood. How weird would that be? – Bruce Fletcher\, SF IndieFest \n\n  \n\n\nABOUT INDIEFEST Year Seven \nDATES: Feb 3-15\, 2005 \nVenues: Castro\, Roxie\, Women’s Building\, Ego Park Gallery \nFeatures: 35  Shorts: 58  Parties: 7  Bands: 3 Total Films: 93  Total Films To Date: 508.  \nWith: Jeff Ross\, Bruce Fletcher\, Tod Booth\, Alicia Perre-Dowd\, Nina Ramos\, Michelle Lee\, Fay Dearborn\, Catherine Fougere\, Mike Skurko\, Karen Larsen \nSponsors: Bay Guardian\, Women’s Building\, Adolph Gasser\, Complex Corp\, sfstation.com\, Dolby\, Rainbow Grocery\, Lost Weekend Video\, Monacco\, Herring and Grey Design\, KQED\, KUSF\, KALX\, Pirate Cat Radio\, 960AM The Quake\, Phoenix Hotel\, Hotel Bijou\, Makers Mark\, Sierra Nevada\, Johnny Love Vodka \nNOTES: First sell out of the Castro Theater\, but 2/3 of the audience is too depressed to go to the after party at the Swedish Hall and Asia Argento stiffed us on a ticket from Rome. Program guide cover art wins a bunch of design awards. Lebowski party moved from a bowling alley to a gallery and becomes more of a party than a bowling night.

SUMMARY:SHUT YER DIRTY LITTLE MOUTH
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for SHUT YER DIRTY MOUTH at 518 Val Sun Feb 4\, 3p HERE\n  \nDirector Robert Taischer – 2002 USA 75 min – IndieFest 2002 program note: \n  \nRobert Taicher earned his Indie credentials by producing Alejandro Jodorowsky’s THE HOLY MOUNTAIN\, and working on SANTA SANGRE. His latest film is an outrageous\, often hilarious\, slice-of-life in the tradition of BARFLY. It is best described as “Waiting for Godot” meets “The Odd Couple in Hell”. Peter (Glenn Shadix – BEETLEJUICE) and Ray (Gill Gayle – THE NEW WOMEN) are down-and-out alcoholics living in the ‘Pepto Bismol Palace’ in the Lower Haight. They imbibe massive quantities of vodka\, report each other to 911\, get hauled off to jail\, and raise the ire of everyone within earshot. Based on actual conversations recorded in the late ’80s\, these unbelievable harangues became an underground cultural sensation. Duplicated again and again\, these aural journals of self-loathing and drunken nonsense traveled the world. They were featured on NPR\, alternative radio\, and they became a daily soap opera on the airwaves in Auckland\, New Zealand. Samples appear on records by L7\, Faith No More\, and Kim Deal. A bittersweet slice of urban Americana. – Bruce Fletcher\, SF IndieFest \n \n\n\nABOUT INDIEFEST Year Four  \nDates: Jan 31-Feb 10\, 2002 \nVenues: Castro\, Roxie\, Studio Z/Transmission Theater\, New College\, Expression Center\, Parkway Theater \nFeatures: 26  Shorts: 73  Parties: 5  Bands: 3 Total Films: 99  Total Films To Date: 227.  \nWith: Jeff Ross\, Stevy Stephens\, Bruce Fletcher\, Allen White\, Doug Jones\, Alex Lynch\, Marjorie Case\, Lynn Coakley\, Brian Cox \nSponsors: SF Weekly\, Creative Technology\, Hotel Bijou\, New Colege\, Cineric\, Expression Center for New Media\, sfstation.com\, Rainbow Grocery\, Adolph Gasser\, KUSF\, AIVF\, Landmark\, Lost Weekend Video\, AIVF\, Sauza\, Makers Mark\, Blavod\, Sierra Nevada\, Mumm Cuvee Napa \nNOTES: First year opening at the Castro!

SUMMARY:HOLDEN ON
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for HOLDEN ON at Roxie Sun Feb 4\, 7p HERE\nTICKETS for HOLDEN ON at Roxie Tue Feb 6 915p HERE\n  \nDirector Tamlin Hall – 2017 USA 101 min Bay Area Premiere – Drama / Youth \n  \nNo longer your average boy-next-door\, Holden Layfield weaves audiences through his harrowing tale in this film set in the early 1990s. After succumbing to a secret battle with mental illness\, Holden evolves from a beloved\, small town Georgia football player to a lost\, self-medicating prophet. Based on a true story about dual diagnosis. – Jennifer Junkyard Morris \nDirector Statement \nI KNEW HOLDEN…\nBecause we grew up together in small-town Georgia. He was “that” guy everyone liked\, even teachers. He was friendly. He was cool. He accepted you for who you were\, not who you weren’t. Whether you were popular or not\, as in my case\, Holden treated everyone as a friend. As one of the “fat” kids growing up\, I was routinely bullied. Holden always looked past my stigma and treated me like an ally rather than an enemy. Looking back\, I’m sure you had a “Holden” at your school. So\, it was an utter shock that autumn afternoon my junior year when I found out Holden died by suicide. He was 19 years old. It wasn’t until I set out to write a paper about Holden in my psychology class senior year did I learn about the secret behind Holden’s smile. His facade masked a story that dealt with mental illness and self-medication. Ten years after that psychology class project\, I asked Bob & Brenda Layfield if I could write a screenplay about their son. They said yes. I am forever grateful. \nWe currently have an award-winning lm\, “Holden On\,” and a high school art initiative\, iAmHoldenOn\, that uses Holden’s humanity to spark social change. I believe we can use our voice through art to help discuss mental health and suicide. And I believe we can save some lives while we’re at it. Let’s be the ally. \nMy name is Tamlin Hall and #iAmHoldenOn

SUMMARY:PASSING STONES
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for PASSING STONES at 518 Val Sun Feb 4\, 730p HERE\n  \nDrector Roger Majkowski – 2001 USA 94 min – IndieFest 2001 program note: \n\n \n  \nLeon (writer/director Roger Majkowski) is a ferociously bitter 30-year-old paperboy (he prefers the term “circulation manager”) still living at home with his nagging mother and dope-addled man-boy brother\, Anthony. When a doddering customer gives him a cryptic letter before blowing his own brains out\, Leon enlists the help of his twisted siblings to solve the mystery. After older brother Gary\, a demented cross between Buddha and Machiavelli\, translates the letter (it’s in Polish)\, it sends the trio on a hunt for a fortune. Their search leads them to a family of women even more bizarre than themselves. Head of this other household is the hard-edged Sheila. Sheila’s sister Meredith seeks relief from the barking and uncontrollable swearing of her Tourettes through a crack pipe. Their mother\, Eve\, lies in a catatonic stupor\, yet locked within her brain are past secrets that may lead to a buried treasure. Buried treasure! Only a movie as frenzied and funny as this one could get away with an old saw like that. Filled with one-of-a-kind characters (Roger Majkowski\, especially\, is simply amazing as the lunatic Leon) and pitched at a delirious pace\, this is an indie version of “It’s a Mad\, Mad\, Mad\, Mad World.”  \n \n\nABOUT INDIEFEST Year Three \nDates: Jan 11-21\, 2001 \nVenues: Galaxy\, Lumiere\, Bohemia Lounge\, Fine Arts Cinema \nFeatures: 21  Shorts: 52  Parties: 6  Bands: 3 Total Films: 73  Total Films To Date: 128.  \nWith: Jeff Ross\, Stevy Stephens\, Allen White\, Tod Booth\, Mimi Brody\, Abby Kavanaugh\, Mick Diener\, Sarah Lockhart\, Dennis Conroy\, Claudia Lehan\, Steve Mockus\, Sean Shodahl\, Philip Walker\, Dan Rodenburg\, Alicia Perre-Dowd\, Allen White\, Marjorie Kase\, Lynn Coakley\, Trina Ross. \nSponsors: Animation\, Bay Guardian\, Cineric\, Hotel Bijou\, Eveo\, SAG\, Bohemia\, AIVF\, Creative Technology\, Sierra Nevada\, Rainbow Grocery\, Filmmaker Magazine\, Lost Weekend Video\, sfstation.com\, Academy of Art College \nNOTES: Added short films.

SUMMARY:VIDAR THE VAMPIRE
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for VIDAR THE VAMPIRE at Roxie Sun Feb 4\, 915p HERE\n  \nDirectors Thomas Aske Berg & Fredrik Waldeland – 2017 Norway 83 min Northern California Premiere – Horror Comedy \n  \nHailing from the land of Black Metal and burning churches comes a story of a farmer who accepts the blood of Jesus only to become a whoremongering vampire. With co-director/co-writer Berg stumbling through his new existence as the Vidar\, this surprisingly sacrilegious and heartfelt film remakes the Vampire genre anew. \nAt its heart Vidar the Vampire is a story about determining and accepting your place in life. Vidar’s ‘conversion’ becomes a metaphor for his alienation. Touching scenes of isolation and self-reflection breakup silly scenes of Vidar’s hopeless attempts to find love and some really gross-out horror. \n Unlike many other Norwegian films\, Vidar was shot without any support from the Norwegian Film Institute. Self-financed at around $60\,000 US\, the film crew had to do everything themselves\, forfeiting salaries and doing odd end jobs between shoots to stay afloat in ‘real life’. They built own set pieces\, provided and managed costumes\, did extensive location scouting\, managed locations\, set-designed locations before shoots\, and broke them down after (among other things). The ‘VampyrVidar’-cast consists of 25% professional actors and the rest are either amateurs to first-timers. \n –Bears Fonte \n

SUMMARY:BLUE RUIN
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for BLUE RUIN at 518 Val Sun Feb 4\, 930p HERE\n  \nDirector Jeremy Saulnier – 2013 USA 92 min – IndieFest 2014 program note: \n  \nBack in 2007\, SF Indie played Jeremy Saulnier’s riotous horror comedy Murder Party\, and after making a name for himself as a cinematographer in the interim – most notably for the dreamy narratives of Matthew Porterfield (Putty Hill) – Saulnier now returns to the director’s seat\, with frequent collaborator Macon Blair turning in a transfixing performance as Blue Ruin’s damaged lead. \nDwight is a soft-spoken\, somewhat shell-shocked beach hobo who lives in his blue car on the west coast\, just trying to keep his head down and limit interactions with the outside world. When he is informed by a sympathetic cop that the man imprisoned for murdering his parents has just been released\, Dwight vows to get revenge\, and sets off on a road trip back to his old haunts to give the killer a different kind of homecoming. – Kier-la Janisse\, SF IndieFest \n“[Saulnier’s] dark revenge tale flaunts its small-town strangeness\, but it also keeps a sharp eye on the human beings at the story’s center. Blue Ruin may occasionally be midnight-movie lurid\, but not at the expense of deeper questions about vengeance’s diminishing returns.” (Tim Grierson\, Paste Magazine) \n \n\n\nABOUT INDIEFEST Year Sixteen \nDates: Feb 6-20\, 2014 \nVenues: Brava\, Roxie\, New Parkway \nFeatures: 37  Shorts: 51  Parties: 7  Bands: 2 Total Films: 88  Total Films To Date: 1296.  \nWith: Jeff Ross\, Kier-la Janiss\, Holly Roach\, Jeff Giordano\, Chris Metzler\, Jay Wertzler\, Anna Feder\, Catie Roads\, Nadja Mark\, Nina Ramos\, George Kaskanlian\, Anne Maley\, Adam Harvie\, Karen Larsen\, studio1500 \nSponsors: Grants for the Arts\, Bay Guardian\, SF Weekly\, East Bay Express\, KALX\, Tax Ninja\, Blue Angel\, Do415\, Purity Organic\, sfstation.com\, Hotel Abri\, Hotel Mark Twain\, Other Avenues\, Phoenix Hotel\, Yelp\, Lagunitas\, studio1500 \nNOTES: We try out the New Parkway in Oakland.
