St. Nick in a snowstorm

We're still in Greece for a few more days, but in about four hours, St. Nick will be unspooling at the Denver Film Festival, where we're also in competition. I've opened the floor for anyone with the inclination and chutzpah to impersonate me for a Q&A. Multiple avatars are encouraged!

(We've received quite a bit of good press out of Denver. Peter Nellhaus wrote a lovely review at Coffee, Coffee and More Coffee; and the Denver Post added another fine Badlands comparison to our stack of Malick comparisons).

Meanwhile, all of our screenings in Thessanoliki have concluded (more on those momentarily) and now I'm catching up on movies. So far I've seen Gigante (Adrian Biniez), Lola (Brillante Mendoza), Air Doll (Hirokazu Kor-Eda), Burrowing (Henrik Hellstrom & Frederik Wenzel), Hadewijch (Bruno Dumont), L'Enfer d'Henri-Georges Clouzot (Serge Bromberg) and a big, awesome print of Aguirre, The Wrath Of God. I somehow convinced Tucker and Savanna's mom to take them to see that one; I'm glad to be responsible for their introduction to Herzog (although if I can introduce them to him in person tomorrow, that'll be an even greater coup).
