SUMMARY:I AM A KNIFE WITH LEGS
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for I AM A KNIFE WITH LEGS at 518 Val Sat Feb 10\, 1p HERE\n  \nDirector Bennet Jones – 2015 USA 90 min – IndieFest 2015 program note: \n  \nFirst his girlfriend dies in a suicide bombing. Then a fatwa is issued against him. And now international Europop star Bené’s eclair is weird. Seven years and hundreds of dollars in the making\, I Am a Knife With Legs is an underground cinema wonder. Utilizing random scribbled animation\, multiple Adobe After Effects freeware plug-ins and\, most importantly\, comedic timing of proportions rivaling Bené’s songwriting abilities\, it lacks anything resembling a dull moment— a rare occurrence when a film is this intentionally batshit weird. – Kier-la Janisse\, SF IndieFest \n  \n\n\nABOUT INDIEFEST Year Seventeen \nDates: Feb 5-19\, 2015 \nVenues: Brava\, Roxie\, Humanist Hall Oakland \nFeatures: 36  Shorts: 45  Parties: 6  Total Films: 81  Total Films To Date: 1377.  \nWith: Jeff Ross\, Mike Keegan\, Kier-la Janisse\, Jeff Giordano\, Chris Metzler\, Jay Wertzler\, Catie Roads\, Emily Hoover\, Nadja Mark\, Nina Ramos\, George Kaskanlian\, Sara Sherman\, Patricia Moran\, Karen Larsen\, studio1500 \nSponsors: Grants for the Arts\, SF Art Commission\, SF Weekly\, Tax Ninja\, Lagunitas\, Phoenix Hotel\, Hotel Kabuki\, Hotel Mark Twain\, Other Avenues\, sfstation.com\, Yelp\, Funcheap\, KQED\, Pusser’s Rum\, Tito’s Vodka\, Dark Horse Wine\, studio1500 \nNOTES: We try another pop up venue in Oakland.

SUMMARY:THE MANHATTAN FRONT
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for THE MANHATTAN FRONT at Roxie Sat Feb 10\, 430p HERE\nTICKETS for THE MANHATTAN FRONT at Roxie Wed Feb 14 7p HERE\n  \nDirector Cathy Lee Crane – 2017 USA 89 min World Premiere – Drama / Musical / Historic \n  \nIn 1915\, a German saboteur comes to Manhattan and tries to co-opt the progressive labor movement push America into World War I. In this hybrid art film\, as history plays itself out between the staged and the archival\, fact and fiction unmask one another to tell a story of the corruption of America’s innocence. With music by the Bay Area’s fabulous Beth Custer. – Jennifer Junkyard Morris \n\n\nBoth screenings of The Manhattan Front will be preceded with live renditions of musical performances from the film led by the production’s San Francisco-based musicians. \n\n\n\n\nStarting at 4:00pm before the February 10 screening\, composer Beth Custer (clarinet\, bethcuster.com)\, will perform alongside Dave Scott (piano) and Scott Foster (guitar) from the Dave Len Scott Quartet (http://davelenscott.org). Before the February 14 screening\, starting at 6:30pm\, La Familia Pena-Govea (miguelgovea.com) will perform corridos and ballads for Valentine’s Day. \n\n\n  \nNoël Burch\, American film theorist: \nBack in the blessed seventies\, a goodly number of film-makers in Western Europe – mostly Britain but also Germany\, Belgium\, the Netherlands – working on the fringes of the Institution – which Christian Metz usefully defined as “meant to fill theatres\, not to empty them” – produced a sizable body of “experimental” but generally legible films deal- ing with history and radical politics. Alas\, like so much else from that era\, this tradition has been lost. Which is why I was enchanted to discover\, quite by accident\, the work of Cathy Lee Crane at a festival in Vienna some fifteen years ago. The Girl from Marseilles was an imaginary construction of what might have been the subjectivity of the “real Nadja” be- hind Breton’s fictional heroine\, both a critique of the Surrealist vision of women and a moving evocation of the écriture of the films of Man Ray\, Germaine Dulac. I have followed closely her development ever since: the evocations of the life of the French Catholic Marxist Simone Weil\, of Pasolini and his death… Fascinating films. But I had one reproach: why this obsession with Europe (my Europe!)\, why not look around you?  \nAnd after several years\, The Manhattan Front was her reply. It is undoubtedly her masterpiece. A shoe- string period movie was a challenge\, and Cathy met it with a maestria we can only salute. Her subject is complex\, an essential (tragic) episode in the history of the “American” left and a crucial moment in the progress of US women: set in Manhattan during WW1\, she evokes both the work of women in the munitions industry\, and the way the capitalist establishment used the war effort to destroy the most radical labor union your country has ever known\, the Industrial Workers of the World\, the “Wobblies”… This is a melodrama\, with German spies hiding bombs in cigars\, with German-American traitors… But Cathy’s approach to this complex material is resolutely experimental\, with brilliantly conceived visual metaphors and disconcerting juxtapositions. Which no doubt explains (along with the film’s unfashionable politics) the refusal from festivals around the world to program it. One can only congratulate the organizers of the San Francisco Independent Film Festival (a festival in the city of my birth) for their clairvoyance.  \nNoël Burch\nco-director with Alan Sekula on The Forgotten Space \nand with Thom Andersen on Red Hollywood\n15 December 2017 Paris\, France  \n\n

SUMMARY:THE CALIFORNIA NO
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for THE CALIFORNIA NO at Roxie Sat Feb 10\, 7p HERE\nTICKETS for THE CALIFORNIA NO at Roxie Mon Feb 12\, 915p HERE\n  \nDirector Ned Ehrbar – 2017 USA 84 min World Premiere – Comedy / Sexuality \n  \nDuring his first visit to couples therapy\, a Los Angeles writer discovers that he’s actually in an open marriage—or at least his wife is. The revelation sets off a series of events that upends his personal and professional life and forces him to reconsider everything about himself.  – Jennifer Junkyard Morris \nDirector Statement \nI didn’t invent the phrase “the California no\,” but I fell in love with it as soon as I heard it: The distinctly Angeleno method of rejecting someone by saying nothing at all — by ignoring emails\, not returning calls and simply waiting until the other person gets fed up or embarrassed enough to just leave it alone.  \nSimply put\, its guiding principle is conflict-avoidance\, something I’ve encountered plenty of in Los Angeles. So I’ve created a story where the conflict is created by characters trying way too hard to avoid conflict. A married couple discovers they’re on two very different pages about their relationship due to poor communication.  \nIt’s also a tongue-in-cheek indictment of straight white male entitlement. We’re following a hapless\, nearly useless beta-male as he makes terrible decision after terrible decision\, testing the patience of the diverse group of fully actualized adults around him. He expects a lot from the world with no good reason to.  \nMost of all\, for my first feature film I sought to present an authentic take on relationships and how people’s lives intersect\, for better or worse. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.   \n\n\n

SUMMARY:FOR NOW
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for FOR NOW at Roxie Sat Feb 10\, 7p HERE\nTICKETS for FOR NOW at Roxie Wed Feb 14\, 915p HERE\n  \nDirector Hannah Barlow – 2017 USA 79 min Bay Area Premiere – Comedy / Drama \n  \nHannah\, an Australian ex-pat living in Los Angeles\, organizes an audition at the San Francisco Ballet Company for her younger brother Connor\, a professional dancer based in Europe. Both siblings are still grieving the death of their beloved parents while trying to build a future for themselves\, continents apart. Hannah’s boyfriend Kane and her best friend Katherine join them on their road trip up the Californian coast\, bypassing many wondrous sun-soaked sights… as well as their self-respect.  \nFor Now is a look at twenty-somethings adrift in the limbo between adolescence and adulthood\, grappling with the superficial connections that define their generation. Shot on the road over seven days on a shoestring budget and with entirely improvised performances based closely on the actors that play them. For Now blurs the line between reality and fiction in an attempt to find meaning in the relationships of four individuals and the sense of loss that overshadows them.- Jennifer Junkyard Morris \n\n

SUMMARY:MUSCLECAR
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for MUSCLECAR at Roxie Sat Feb 10\, 915p HERE\n  \nDirector Dwayne Labbe – 2017 Australia 77 min North American Premiere – Ozploitation Horror/Midnight Movie \n  \nWhen Bambi blows her last cash on the car of her dreams\, she can’t afford to drive it… until the alcohol-rich blood of chauvinist men finds its way into her gas tank. With a little VooDoo and heart\, this hot young car lover has a ride worthy of her devotion. \nWhat is Ozploitation you may ask? After the R-rating as introduced in Australia in 1971\, the country embraced a style of filmmaking that can be described\, according to the Australian Film Institute as break-neck-action\, schlock-horror\, ocker comedy and frisky sex romps joined a uniquely antipodean wave in exploitation cinema. Musclecar continues that tradition. The premise is completely ridiculous. The characters are bold and over the top but loveable nonetheless. When I was looking for films for the fest this year\, I sort had a goal to find a film full of sex and death and craziness and I couldn’t have asked for a better combination. \n –Bears Fonte \nPlays with:  \n \nSPRING AFFAIR \nOberon Augarde\, USA\, 7 min \nTwo young women on a hunting trip discuss what it means to be a wet noodle.
