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:MAZE
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for MAZE at Roxie Sun Feb 11\, 915p HERE\nTICKETS for MAZE at Roxie Thu Feb 15\, 915p HERE\n  \nDirector Stephen Burke – 2017 Ireland 93 min Northern California Premiere – Prison Thriller \n  \nInspired by the true events of the infamous 1983 prison breakout of 38 IRA prisoners from ‘the most secure prison in Europe\,’ the HMP Maze\, an inmate and revolutionary develops a complicated friendship with the prison warden. Or is it just a part of the plan? \nUpon its release last year in the UK and Ireland\, many people worried the film would glorify the prisoners and the moment in history became controversial anew. \nFROM BBC NEWS: Republicans\, with a sense of pride\, hold it up as their Great Escape; Unionists recall how one prison officer was killed and others were so seriously injured or traumatised that their lives were effectively ruined. \nWith its warders backed up by armed soldiers and its distinctively-shaped ‘H’ blocks\, purpose built to house Northern Ireland’s feared paramilitaries\, HMP Maze became an instantly recognisable feature on the violent landscape of the Troubles. \nIt stood as another reminder of how things in Northern Ireland were not the same as in the rest of the UK.  \n –Bears Fonte

DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for GUITAR MAN at Roxie Sun Feb 11\, 7p HERE\nTICKETS for GUITAR MAN at Roxie Thu Feb 15\, 915p HERE\n  \nDirector Rocky Capella – 2018 USA 98 min Bay Area Premiere\, Local Filmmaker – Drama / Youth / Prison \n  \nLifelong Musician BUZZY MARTIN began teaching at-risk kids about music to help them through the trial of their daily lives. Through this experience he was given the opportunity to teach a music class inside San Quentin State Prison. Intimidated at first by the brutal surroundings\, he soon found a common language between him and the inmates: music. He returned to his younger students with stories about the reality of prison life\, desperate to teach them that prison was not a streetwise “badge of honor.” The dangerous paths down which they were headed could be replaced by real dreams\, hope and the redemptive muscle of liberating jailhouse rock. Along the way they discover the true gift of music…and the deeper meaning of freedom. – Jennifer Junkyard Morris \n\n

SUMMARY:THE MISOGYNISTS
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS for THE MISOGYNISTS at Roxie Thu Feb 15\, 7p HERE\n  \nDirector Onur Tukel – US 85 min West Coast Premere – CLOSING NIGHT FILM \n  \nIn a single\, fully-stocked hotel room on the night of the 2016 general election\, two Trump supporters celebrate the unexpected results\, in the latest film from indie provocateur Onur Tukel (who starred in IndieFest 2016’s Booger Red).  \nAs the night rages on\, an ensemble of characters venture in and out of the room. Some match the two’s enthusiasm while others voice their terror at the prospect of the incoming President\, but most struggle to find reasons to care less about the results that caused the debauched celebration occurring around them. Led by Dylan Baker’s gleefully deranged lead performance\, Tukel’s tongue-in-cheek exploration of a divided America digs deep into the night’s mass existential crisis\, and leaves with some disquieting results. – Jeff Ross \n Co-presented by Cinesource Magazine\n\n

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 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

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). A surprising morality tale with a pure heart and a cornucopia of crazy characters\, RON GOOSSENS\, LOW BUDGET manages to actually charm in spite of the constant (and hilarious) intrusion of montage music courtesy of Dutch lounge-legend Dennie Christian which faux-charms at every instant. \n –Bears Fonte \n\n
