Upcoming

This weekend, James is heading to the Nevada City Film Festival to present Knife and Pioneer. This festival is particularly notable to me because it's the hometown of Joanna Newsom, whose music has given me multiple new leases on life.

Sadly, I won't be going. Other travel plans interfered, fell through and then were replaced by a trip to Tacoma, WA for the second annual 25 New Faces Series at the Grand Cinema, a weekend event featuring the work of all 25 of the filmmakers featured in the most recent issue of Filmmaker Magazine. I'll be there through Monday, and am thrilled that I've seen almost none of the films being showcased there. Panos Cosmatos' Beyond The Black Rainbow is one I'm particularly intrigued by.

The weekend after that, Toby and I are taking a Southern road trip to the wonderful Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham, which I can't believe I haven't attended since 2008, when we all gathered in Joe Swanberg's hotel room to watch the Presidential Debates and eat french fries.
