We started downtown with Harlem Streetsinger, a documentary about Rev. Gary Davis, whose guitar playing was legendary. Nice piece of musical history and biography. Then to the library for Lion Ark and back downtown for Delinquent Dancers - a fun, but not quite successful Bollywood film about a group of boys who escape a detention center to take part in a televised dance contest.Then to Bear Tooth for You'll Be A Man. Each time we got back to the car, there was
another three or four inches of fresh snow to brush off.

'Benz' Thanachart Siripatrachai, a Thai film maker studying in New York and the creator of the charming The Words I Love has been staying with us and realized that I hadn't gotten any video of him yet. So I did at lunch between films. I'll edit it and put it up later.
Saturday's highlight for me was You'll Be A Man by Benoit Cohen who came from France with his producer Matthieu Prada for the showing. (And he'll be here for tomorrow's showing too.) Here's a bit of video of the two before the showing, talking about their arrival in Alaska.

Here they are after the film answering questions from a clearly enthusiastic audience at the Bear Tooth.
The discussions continued on into the lobby.
I was hoping to get to bed before 2am today, but I've missed that deadline. I liked You'll Be A Man a lot, but I want to process it a bit before I write about it. It does play again Sunday - at 1:30 at AK Exp.
