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:
