SUMMARY:FUNNY HA HA
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for FUNNY HA HA at 518 Val Sun Feb 11\, 1p HERE\n  \nDirector Andrew Bujalsky – 2002 USA 89 min – IndieFest 2004 program note: \n  \nFive minutes\, is that so long? Marnie would like to go five minutes without something embarrassing happening to her. But for the beleaguered heroine of Andrew Bujalski’s spot-on exploration of life in the awkward lane\, that’s just not possible. Friends who don’t know when to shut up\, jobs that are okay at best\, and kisses\, both unwelcome and unsent: Marnie’s endured them all\, uncertain but ever hopeful that someday\, all the pieces of her life will come together and everything will fit. \nAt first blush\, Funny Ha Ha may seem like a familiar story—a twenty-something drifting through her life\, suffering from unrequited love and a touch of post-college ennui—but Bujalski has a refreshingly original approach. While other directors would lather on the soporific humor or aim for emotional fireworks\, Bujalski lingers on life’s quietly uncomfortable moments\, like when you run out of conversation on a date and there’s nothing left to do but just look at each other. It’s rich material and Bujalski renders each stilted conversation perfectly\, with every “Um” and “Ah” in exactly the right place. As Marnie\, Kate Dollenmayer projects a vulnerability and naturalism that is perfectly in harmony with the cliché-free script. Not to be outdone\, Bujalski steps in front of the camera himself to play Mitchell\, the nicest guy Marnie will probably never go out with. He’s also one of three nominees in the 2004 Independent Spirit Awards Someone to Watch Award.  – Doug Jones \n \n\n\nABOUT INDIEFEST Year Six \nDates: Feb 5-15\, 2004 \nVenues: Castro\, Roxie\, Women’s Building\, Oakland Metro \nFeatures: 35  Shorts: 63  Parties: 7  Bands: 3 Total Films: 98  Total Films To Date: 415.  \nWith: Jeff Ross\, Bruce Fletcher\, Tod Booth\, Molli Simon\, Alicia Perre-Dowd\, John Lee\, Catherine Fougere\, Michael Tino\, Sean Kelly\, Kat Borgen Werbel\, Karen Larsen \nSponsors: The Women’s Building\, Live 105\, Adolph Gasser\, Phoenix Hotel\, Bay Guardian\, Sierra Nevada\, Kitchen Sink Magazine\, Landmark Theaters\, sfstation.com\, Lost Weekend Video\, Rainbow Grocery\, KQED\, Hotel Bijou\, La Mediterranee\, Monaco \nNOTES: First Big Lebowski Party! First screenings at the Women’s Building Auditorium. Back cover of the 40 page program guide featured a cut out clip&save Mission Hipster by Hugh Andrade. First year with Karen Larsen as our publicist. First and only time an entire sold out Roxie theater crowd walks out of a movie. (Bettie Page-Dark Angel a film we booked as a world premiere after seeing only a 20 minute rough cut\, and saw for the first time at the festival. It was so bad Betty Page had them change the spelling of her name in the title when she pulled out of working on it. But the Betty Page look a like contest at Bondage A Go Go that everyone went to instead was awesome!)

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.

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: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:KILL ME PLEASE
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for KILL ME PLEASE at 518 Val Sat Feb 10\, 5p HERE\n  \nDirector Anita Rocha de Silveira – 2016 Brazil 101 min – IndieFest 2017 program note: \n  \nThe classic coming-of-age premise “You guys wanna go see a dead body?” from Stand By Me gets an update and twist as fifteen-year-old Bia becomes obsessed with a series of unsolved murders and the graveyard Facebook pages of the victims. Drawn into the world of darkness\, she finds more in common with the dead girls than her own group of friends.  Visually alluring\, it’s a refreshing\, unapologetic love letter to melancholic curiosity\, something every teen passes through. –Bears Fonte\, SF IndieFest \n \n\n\nABOUT INDIEFEST Year Nineteen \nDates: Feb 2-16\, 2017 \nVenues: Brava\, Roxie\, Alamo Drafthouse \nFeatures: 40  Shorts: 46  Parties: 8  Bands: 1 Total Films: 86  Total Films To Date: 1551.  \nWith: Jeff Ross\, Bears Fonte\, Chris Metzler\, Jon Gann\, Jennifer Junkyard Morris\, Joshua Moore\, Catie Roads\, Laureen Lulu Briggs\, Colin Johnson\, Nadja Mark\, Nina Ramos\, George Kaskanlian\, Robert Meyer\, Karen Larsen\, Fabian Falconett\, Mellissa Martin \nSponsors: Grants for the Arts\, Samuel Adams\, KQED\, sfstation.com\, Pusser’s Rum\, Distillery 209\, Tito’s Vodka\, Radio Valencia\, 107.7 the Bone\, KALX\, 48 Hills\, Tax Ninja\, Hotel Kabuki\, Bai\, Hotel Carlton\, goodhotel\, DoTheBay\, Hotel Rex\, Phoenix Hotel\, Hotel Metropolis\, Bawdy Caste\, SF Weekly\, Funcheap\, Brava Theater \nNOTES: We borrow Josh Moore from SFJFF and recruit short film pro Jon Gann to join the team.

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:HARMONY AND ME
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for HARMONY AND ME at 518 Val Sat Feb 10\, 3p HERE\n  \nDiector Robert Byington – 2010 USA 75 min – IndieFest 2010 program note: \n  \nHarmony (a hilarious\, wry Jutin Rice) is a charmingly quirky slacker in the depths of a yearlong post-breakup funk that shows no signs of abating. The highlights of his days are “chance” run-ins with his ex. When one such excursion leads him to a nasty discovery\, he decides its time to move on\, but a disasterous date with his neighbor might not be the ticket. In what New York Magazine calls “a raucous\, highly musical comedy\,” director Robert Byington establishes himself as a unique\, irreverent and highly entertaining voice in contemporary cinema. – Anita Monga\, SF IndieFest \n  \n\n\nABOUT INDIEFEST Year Twelve \nDates: Jan 29-Feb 18\, 2010 \nVenues: Film: Roxie; Music: DNA Lounge\, Thee Parkside\, Bottom of the Hill \nFeatures: 28  Shorts: 37  Parties: 3  Bands: 43 Total Films: 65  Total Films To Date: 970.  \nWith: Jeff Ross\, Fay Dearborn\, Anita Monga\, Holly Roach\, Kier-la Janisse\, Ilya Tovis\, John Paulson\, Rick Abruzzo\, Tia Mignonne\, Caitlin Curtin\, Romany\, Karen Larsen\, studio1500 \nSponsors: Grants for the Arts\, Bay Guardian\, Live 105\, Blue Angel Vodka\, Hotel Carlton\, Clubcard Printing\, studio1500\, Trummer Pils\, goodhotel\, Phoenix Hotel\, Hostelling International\, KUSF\, b-side\, FLAG Marketing\, Sugarbowl\, Talking House Records \nNOTES: We add a week-long multi-venue music festival with over 40 excellent bands.

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.

This would be enough of a set-up for a great movie\, but Steffen Haars and Flip Van Der Kuil comedy finds Ron Goossens (Tim Haars) only at it to try to bed Dutch superstar and supermodel Bo Maerten\, to prove to his wife he’s ‘still got it.’ His wife actually threatens to leave him if he can’t do it\, after he discovers she has had sex with basically the entire town\, including all his friends. Able to recover quickly from his many stunts due mainly to being completely drunk all the time\, Goossens finds he has to quit drinking to make any headway with Maerten\, and when he does finally achieve a clear headed perspective\, he begins to wonder if his entire life has really amounted to anything (that he can actually remember).

Monica’s hope for a quiet vacation\, and perhaps her very sanity\, are thrown into utter jeopardy.  –Jennifer Junkyard Morris \nDirector Statement \nThese days\, it seems words can be just as offensive as actions as we’re in a constant state of war\, civil unrest and social denial. \nTormenting The Hen is a response to the crossed wires and frayed emotions of our times. \nInstead of looking at this dissonance from an “us vs. them”\, micro vs. macro mentality\, the film gets in on the person to person to person level. I love the tense psychological chamber dramas of early Polanski and Bergman and I wanted to create a film in this mode while exploring characters at odds. \nA key question at the heart of our movie lies right there in the title: Just who is the hen and who is the tormentor? Then one must ask: Is there only one of each? And does it truly matter?  \nWITH \nWHEN I WAKE \nSarah M. Flores\, USA\, 2017\, 11 min \nSet after the election of a treacherous president\, WHEN I WAKE explores a society in which new public policy restricts women’s independence. \n  \n  \n\nCo-presented by FRAMELINE \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:WITHDRAWN
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for WITHDRAWN at Roxie Fri Feb 2\, 915p HERE\nTICKETS for WITHDRAWN at Roxie Thu Feb 8\, 7p HERE\n  \nDirector Adrian Murray -2017 USA 74 min Bay Area Premiere – Drama / Youth \n  \nBroke\, basement-dwelling\, millennial Aaron (Aaron Keogh) spends his days mostly alone. He preoccupies himself by playing video games\, trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube\, tending to a dying plant and soloing on a duct-taped Rock Band drum set. Constantly dodging and talking his way out of his roommate’s requests for rent\, Aaron is also trying to find ways to pay bills that he can’t afford. When he finds a lost credit card\, Aaron decides to hatch a defrauding scheme. \nDirector Adrian Murray’s first feature film is somewhat of a dry farce that manages to be both entertaining and subdued. Keogh has brilliant timing and a knack for physical comedy as the unhurried and mostly unperturbed Aaron\, who fumbles while trying to do the occasional\, perfunctory fast-talking and performs antic after antic\, like participating in one of those viral internet challenge videos\, more messing around on a Rubik’s Cube and a little bit of credit card fraud.- Jennifer Junkyard Morris \n\n

SUMMARY:SEQUENCE BREAK
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for SEQUENCE BREAK at Roxie Fri Feb 2\, 915p HERE\nTICKETS for SEQUENCE BREAK at Roxie Wed Feb 7\, 915p HERE\n  \nDirector Graham Skipper – 2017 USA 80 min Northern California Premiere – SciFi Horror  \nA loner who restores arcade games finds the monotony of life broken when a gamer girl steps into his shop\, the same day a mysterious arcade cabinet shows up. As his romance flourishes\, so does his obsession with the game\, creating a man/machine carnal contact of the Cronenbergian kind. \nThe story of boy meets girl\, boy ignores girl for arcade game\, arcade game has sex with boy\, arcade game has sex with girl\, boy…. well\, I don’t want to ruin it. But seriously\, there is some weird shoit that goes down in this film. Chase Williamson (BEYOND THE GATES\, JOHN DIES AT THE END) stars as Oz\, a loner who excels at rebuilding and restoring ’80s arcade games. The shop that has served as the focal point is about to close and Oz has basically done nothing with his life\, and has next to no human interaction. Then Tess (Fabianne Theresa\, SOUTHBOUND\, JOHN DIES AT THE END) comes into the shop and everything changes. Oh\, her and the mysterious game that arrives without any instructions or provenance. Just as Oz and Tess’s romance flourishes\, so does his obsession with the cryptic game. As Oz plays\, he feels himself drawn more and more into the images flashing across the screen\, in an almost sexual way. No\, it’s not almost. This is man/machine carnal contact of the Cronenbergian kind. \nSEQUENCE BREAK is the kind of film that at its core is a simple story\, but its ability to transport you into another plane of existence through the sheer provocativeness of its imagery means the film continues to chill you long after its running time. Armed with an incredible 8-bit meets John Carpenter inspired soundtrack\, Skipper’s film makes out like a much darker version of Tron\, but instead of trying to get out of ‘gameland\,’ the game is seems trying to get a foothold in our world. A ‘sequence break\,’ in common usage\, involves the player of a video game finding a way to beat the way outside of the developer’s intention\, basically taking advantage of a glitch or exploiting an inadvertent hole in the world of the game. In the game\, Oz may just have found the sequence break for his own life.

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: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

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: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: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!

Recently\, his wife Firoozeh has left him because of his excessive hunting\, his numerous taxidermy animals that fill the house\, and most importantly his extreme love for his dog Haiku.

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:TOP KNOT DETECTIVE
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for TOP KNOT DETECTIVE at Roxie Sat Feb 3\, 915p HERE\n  \nDirector Aaron McCann & Dominic Pearce – 2017 Australia 87 min – Mockumentary/Comedy  \n  \nA behind the scenes peak at the greatest television Samurai Drama no one knows and its enigmatic and tragically lost star\, Takashi Takamoto. Robots\, Product Placement\, and island-sized egos fill this series seen just briefly in Australia and finally memorialized in a way befitting its utter lack of success. \nUnlike Christopher Guest films\, there is a thread that runs through TOP KNOT DETECTIVE that feels like it could be true\, or at least\, would be believed if someone tried to pass it off as true. Much like Peter Jackson’s FORGOTTEN SILVER\, McCann & Perce have invented a full mythology of a lost television show\, interviewing the talent and creators. As the film propels through its absurd history\, the details of the show and its narcissistic star become less and less plausible\, but by then\, you’ve already fallen victim to the credibility of craft of the mockumentarians. –Bears Fonte \n\n

Featuring the ’50s hoodlum Blackie (Jack Oblivian)\, his fortean friend Mike (Mike Maker)\, sado-masochist ex-con Kerine (Kerine Elkins)\, her decomposing mother and the strapping motorcycle fairie girl Goliatha (D’Lana Tunnell of Teenage Tupolo)\, the characterrrs have got to be seen to be believed. Blackie\, an escapee from Lo-Fi frequency limbo\, is on a redemptive mission set by The Elder (sexpolitation pioneer David F. Friedman) to complete a beatnik/hippy killing spree started in the ’50s. All is well until he defaults when accomplice Kerine shoots one victim (her mother) over the allotted head count of twelve and the Men in Black (Tokyo punks Guitar Wolf) arrive to finish the job. Mayhem unsues through numerous car confrontations\, hippie splatterings\, a rompous electocution scene and fine editing. Plastic\, pulp\, leather and a bit of meat make this gory dish a raunchy treat. – Marlene Friis\, SF IndieFest \n \n  \n  \n\n\nABOUT INDIEFEST Year One \nDATES: Jan 7-10\, 1999 \nVenues: Victoria and Roxie Theaters \nFeatures: 17  Shorts: 1  Parties: 3  Bands: 3 Total Films: 18  Total Films To Date: 18.  \nWith: Jeff Ross\, Marisa Pearl\, Becky Mertens\, Jane Pavis\, Dan Rodenburg\, Ninfa Dawson\, Lynn Coakley\, Rick Rayman\, Joanne Parsont\, Jennifer Schwartz\, Kathleen Mullen\, Paul Rowley\, Doug Jones \nSponsors: Tower Records\, Lost Weekend Video\, Bay Guardian\, Rainbow Grocery\, Travelodge\, sfstation.com \nNOTES: IndieFest launches the careers of Jennifer Garner (opening night film 1999 was her first role in a feature) and Luke Wilson (who\, along with Alicia Witt\, starred in fest selection Bongwater).
