i was a little harried this festival. i'm working farther away and
i've got a cell phone, work trouble and family trouble. actually the traffic
turned out ok, except for the night when they closed 880 and all four lanes
had to take an exit and get on the entrance across the road to get around some
work on an overpass. my work is one of those places
where they expect you to be working all the time and all that. at least my
boss let me take a couple days of vacation. he was always good about that.
this was the first sf festival after the two artistic directors left. peter
scarlet went to the cinematheque francaise, though i read in the last cahiers
du cinema that he was forced to resign or something, and rachel rosen went to
an independant film festival in los angeles. without them, things seemed a
little flat, starting from the preview night where they introduced the schedule.
some of the old staff were still around anyways, and maybe the new people will
have better luck next year? anyways, it's a shame that they're gone, especially
rachel, since i guess i wouldn't know, but when peter left for what looked like
something better, i figured she'd be taking over.
here's what i went to. usually i'd write a bit more, but somehow after this
festival it didn't happen. i don't think i wrote notes on many of these.
maybe later.
