SUMMARY:HER MAGNUM OPUS
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for HER MAGNUM OPUS at Roxie Sun Feb 11\, 430p HERE\nTICKETS for HER MAGNUM OPUS at Roxie Mon Feb 12\, 7p HERE\n  \nDirector Marta Renzi – 2017 USA 61 min Bay Area Premiere – Dance / Aging \n  \nA freewheeling narrative enacted almost entirely through movement and music\, Her Magnum Opus is Marta Renzi’s ode to creativity and community as a circle of friends gathers to celebrate their mentor. Her little house was a refuge as the seasons changed\, with legendary parties that lasted for hours\, but was now coming to an end. \nA circle of friends gather to celebrate their mentor and learns that what lasts is those you leave behind. A freewheeling narrative enacted almost entirely through movement and music\, “Her Magnum Opus” is Marta Renzi’s ode to creativity and community. A diverse cast weaves in and out of the action like revelers in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream;” presiding over the festivities is Aileen Passloff\, a grey-haired force of nature playing a version of herself. Among her attendants are a devoted younger friend (dancer Arthur Avilés)\, a pregnant dancer\, a young couple in need of counseling\, even a fairy tale prince who pops out of a pile of autumn leaves. A tantalizing mix of magic realism and improvised naturalism\, the film unfolds in a bucolic setting—a beach\, a forest\, a country house—which holds emotional ties for the group as a source of inspiration and solace. Her little house was a refuge as the seasons changed\, with legendary parties that lasted for hours\, but was now coming to an end. A remarkable feature debut from award-winning choreographer Renzi\, for whom dancers have always been people first. Jennifer Junkyard Morris \n  \nCo-presented by the SAN FRANCISCO DANCE FILM FESTIVAL \n  \nPlays with:  \nRICE BALL \nYusuke Oishi\, Japan\, 15 min \nA father and a son return from their wife and mother’s cremation and halfheartedly fix rice balls for lunch. It’s a moment full of meaning for both\, as her absence is felt even in the making of this seemingly simple dish. \n

SUMMARY:Rabbit
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for RABBIT at Roxie Fri Feb 9\, 7p HERE\nTICKETS for RABBIT at Roxie Mon Feb 12 915p HERE\n  \nDirector Luke Shanahan – 2017 Australia 99 min West Coast Premiere – SciFi Thriller \n  \nDespite being thousands of miles away\, Maude can still feel her abducted twin sister Cleo through what may be a psychic link in this Outback Noir anchored by dual performances from Adelaide Clemens. Exploiting prejudice and pseudo-science\, Shanahan crafts an unforgettable and unflinching portrait of attachment. \nRABBIT is a bold debut from writer/director Luke Shanahan who dives headfirst into a secret world\, dragging us with him and giving us little room to catch our breath. Every sequence is meticulously designed and full of tension. Anchored by a phenomenal performance from Adelaide Clemens who plays both twins\, RABBIT manages to avoid any distance that noir genre films often fall victim to. Maude is experiencing the same pain and terror that her sister is and finds herself in a dangerous situation with her only accomplices being two men who hate each other. \nWithout giving the story away\, this is a film that manages to be as psychologically frightening as physically. And Shanahan amplifies its tension with a cool hand in capturing visual portraits that can be either as visceral or as scientifically sterile as the scene requires\, all accentuated by an at times overbearing score that seems to oppress the action with its very soundscape. This is a confident film from a new director where the audience is always racing to keep up with the action but manages to dive in to the emotional struggle of the lead character.

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  \n\n
