First, sorry for pointing people toward the Inlet Towers yesterday for the Martini Matinee. It was at the Bear Tooth and well attended, including a number of film makers.
There's a lot on for Saturday that I haven't seen. The links and times and locations are on the schedule below from the Festival site. I'll try to point out films that I've seen and that I've liked:
Family Program
If you have kids: Go to Loussac either at 11 or 1 for the family program. Actually, I'd say it doesn't matter when you get there after 11 because the program repeats at 1.
Lion Ark
Also at Loussac will be Lion Ark which I saw in LA. A good action packed (in a good way) story about rescuing lions from illegal Bolivian circuses. You can see the short video I did in LA with the director Tim Phillips here.
Tales From The Organ Trade
This documentary looks at the world market for human kidneys. See a whole post on this film here. This film shows a lot of sides and raises the ethical dilemmas that make this so tricky.
Jonah and Life are two shorts that made an impression on me in the Global Village Shorts Program at 1:30pm.
Coffee Time, Slomo, and The Words I Love are all the kinds of films you want to see at a film festival. They're in Quirky Shorts (a good descriptor) at 2 pm at Anchorage Community Works - 349 E Ship Creek Ave.
Reel Life and Life are in the Reel/Real Life Short Narrative Fiction program at 3pm at AK Exp. theater. I'm trying to get up some video with Laurence Relton I did today. [It's up here now.] He directed Reel Life which is definitely worth seeing. I haven't seen the rest of this program so I can't comment.
Vino Veritas is a feature of the Virginia Woolf genre - two couple have dinner together and start peeling the layers of their relationships. This one differs from others in this genre in that none of the characters is actually mean. This is a good serious film that couples ought to see. I recorded some video last night of director Sarah Knight.
I'm headed for To Be A Man at 8pm, which I haven't seen yet. I've heard good things. It's a French movie about the relationship between a 20 year old man and a 10 year old boy. The film maker is scheduled to be here at 8pm at the Bear Tooth.
Not sure how much that helps. Lots of good things to see and unless you can clone yourself, it's hard to get it all in. Though you can sneak a look at the Sunday program to see if what you want to see plays Sunday again.
Saturday, December 14th
