Note: Today's venues are: Bear Tooth in the afternoon, then the Museum.
2PM MARTINI MATINEE - Bear Tooth - a shorts program that, I'm told, includes some great ones. We'll see.
6:00 FERAL - Anchorage Museum - another narrative feature about a homeless person. Last night's 'homeless narrative feature' - Gutterbug - was a very powerful film that gave me chills at the end. Well, where it should have ended - with the mom at the hospital. I would have chopped off the rest that gave it a happily ever after Hollywood ending that seemed at odds with the rest of the film.
But all that's to say that a film about homelessness can be very worth watching.
7:45 Those Who Remained -Anchorage Museum - This is the one I'm looking forward to seeing. It's a Hungarian film about Holocaust survivors in Hungary. There was another film on this theme last year as well - 1945. This has personal meaning for me because my step-mother was a Hungarian speaking holocaust survivor who returned to her home to find all the neighbors had appropriated all their belongings including their house.
