SUMMARY:Sam Green Award event and Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS: https://drafthouse.com/show/sf-indieshorts-sam-green-award-event\nSF IndieShorts is pleased to be presenting The Philo T Farnsworth Award for Innovative Filmmaking to Sam Green on Friday November 9\, 630p\, at Alamo Drafthouse New Mission. \nSam Green is a documentary filmmaker who has made many movies including most recently A Thousand Thoughts\, a live cinematic collaboration with the Kronos Quartet. Previous “live documentaries” include The Measure of All Things and The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller\, featuring the indie rock band Yo La Tengo. Sam’s documentary The Weather Underground was nominated for an Academy Award and included in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. \nSam has been making award-winning short documentaries since the late 1990s. The SF IndieShorts program gathers together a full length program of Green’s short films\, ranging from a portrait of the world’s largest shopping mall in Southern China\, which is actually completely empty (Utopia\, Part 3)\, to an elegy for Meredith Hunter\, the young man who was killed by Hell’s Angels at the notorious 1969 Altamont concert (lot 63\, grave c). Other films from the program include: The Fabulous Stains: Behind the Movie\, the remarkable story of the cult film directed by Lou Adler in 1982. The Universal Language is a portrait of Esperanto\, an artificial language that was created in the late 1800s with the hope of creating world peace\, and the worldwide movement of people who still speak it. Plus Sam’s latest film Julius Caeser was Buried in a Pet Cemetary\, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year.  \nRunning through Green’s films is a celebration of idealism and the search for meaning along with the often humorous realities of human folly. \nFilms screening after the awards presentation and Sam Green in conversation with Chris Metzler:\nUtopia Part 3: the World’s Largest Shopping Mall – 13:08\, 2009 \nPie Fight ’69 – 8:03\, 2000 \nThe Fabulous Stains: Behind the Movie – 11:00\, 1999 \nlot 63\, grave c – 9:47\, 2006 \nN-Judah 5:30 – 3:18\, 2004 \nClear Glasses – 4:13\, 2008 \nThe Universal Language – 30:00\, 2011  \nJulius Caesar was Buried in a Pet Cemetery – 4:00\, 2018 \n  \nA short film by Electric Park Films about Sam Green:

SUMMARY:Program 2: What Wat?
DESCRIPTION:Program 2: What Wat?\nThe world we live in can be a strange and unusal place.\nFri Nov 9\, 930p\, 100 min\n  \nBest Before \nSkyler Schain \n2018\, US\, 5:39\, Local Filmmaker \nAn incident in a grocery store forces a young man to confront some issues in his personal life. \n  \n  \nCalifornia Roll \nKen Lin \n2018\, US\, 7:26\, Filmmaker Attending \nA local sushi bar becomes the stage for a spicy reckoning when two inept robbers take a gamble with defiant patrons\, and their own uncertain future. \n  \nDay Jobs \nNikiel Suchit \n2018\, US\, 12:45 \nA close examination of the careers of a street preacher\, an online critic\, and a seduction expert. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nInterruptus\n \nDuane Michals \n2018\, US\, 3:34 \nHe slept with her\, but dreamt of him. \n  \n  \nMirrors \nMary Marxen \n2018\, US\, 16:24\, Local Filmmaker \nA contemporary ballet dancer spirals out of control during a career-defining performance. \n  \nPlease \nJoshua Swallow \n2017\, US\, 5:39 \nA lion helps a little boy build a better boat and get back home. \n  \nSkjemt Blod \nGwenmarie White \n2018\, US\, 6:04\, Filmmaker Attending \nSKJEMT BLOD (which translates to “bad blood” or “tainted blood” in Norwegian) is a vehicle for meditation on American brutality. The line in SKJEMT BLOD is always moving\, digging stubbornly and disturbingly deeper into tropes and stereotypes rather than dismantling them. Suburban whiteness rears its ugly (but also\, like\, really\, really pretty) head\, proving that “true” brutality takes many forms\, and moves with an insidious ease throughout the institutions of late-stage capitalism. \n  \nSpider \nC. Blake Evernden \n2018\, Canada\, 20:00 \nJennifer Lear spends her days and nights escaping from her family farm and far out into the wilds. She sees beauty in entropy and even romance in the sometimes vicious methods of nature. \n  \nStory to Tell \nSayaka Nakane \n2017\, Japan\, 14:51 \nVivi & Mimi seek out their fathers’ killer.  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Idea of North \nAlbert Choi \n2018\, US\, 7:15 \nFinding true north.
