This is the first time I will be able to afford a few films for this event. I thought I would paste the list below alphabetically, and, if anyone has a good feeling about any of these, perhaps they could share their thoughts or endorsements...? Also, I figured there might be some interest among y'all to see the program in a compact list form. Several films I have not included on the list (because I have already bought tickets): Meek's Cutoff, Mysteries of Lisbon, Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu, American Teacher, City Below, The Future
This is my second post on this site, so I hope I am not violating protocol or bypassing some necessary hazing ritual. If I am, just give me a [-X , or a [-( , or a =; , or a #-o

Re: 2011 San Francisco International Film Festival
Have Seen:
Nostalgia for the Light - Masterpiece. An extremely intelligent and subtle essay film which creates intricate networks of meaning that link history and cosmology. One of the best documentaries of recent years, and it looks gorgeous too.
Ha Ha Ha - More of the same from Hong, which means it's very good indeed.
Attenberg - Not from the same director as Dogtooth, but he's in it, and it deals with many of the same concerns in much the same skewed way. A movement or clique to keep an eye on.
I'm Glad My Mother Is Still Alive - Surprisingly pungent family drama from the normally bland Miller pere. Worthwhile, but not essential.
World on a Wire - Prime Fassbinder. Say no more.
Want to see:
The Arbor - I passed up on this last year, but every report I've heard since from trusted sources make me think I missed out. It sounds like much more than a standard biography.
My Joy - Loznitsa has made some fine found-footage documentaries (above all Blockade) and this feature sounds really strong. It's divided critics, which is generally a good sign.
Tabloid - Appears to be Morris' best film in years and sounds wonderfully crazy.
Pink Saris - Longinotto has yet to make a bad film, and she's made a handful of absolutely great ones, so the odds are good for this.
At Ellen's Age - Marais' previous feature, the recently SecondRunned The Unpolished, was very good, certainly good enough to make me want to see what she does next.
Any new Herzog and Iosseliani should be snaffled up. With the latter, any new film could well be his last, and his previous one Gardens in Autumn was in my opinion one of his best.
And of course you'd be mad to miss the Tindersticks performance.
Otherwise, you're on your own. I'm not a big Majewski fan, but his films generally have enough interesting visual ideas to justify a ticket, and I suppose you could say the same for Barney (I take it this is a new Drawing Restraint, not the Bjork one). I thought Azazel Jacobs' Momma's Man was pretty thin, so I'd probably pass on his new film. I've heard good things about the Amalric, but don't really have an opinion, and the word on the Kitano is mixed, but I'd go see it. I think swo17 was a big fan, so you could do a search on the forum for his comments.

Kitano's leapt gleefully back into the yakuza genre, and I can't remember a film of his I've had more fun watching, even if it doesn't aspire for the more poetic heights of something like Hana-bi. It's basically the old premise of two rival gangs refusing to let the other one have the last word in an argument, extrapolated out to ridiculousness. It's probably not too much of a spoiler for me to say that a lot of people die in this, often in creative ways.
Also of note: there's a teaser at the end of the film indicating that there will be an Outrage 2 coming in 2011!

Re: 2011 San Francisco International Film Festival
That is correct. I saw Drawing Restraint 9 (the Bjork one) at SFMOMA, and in spite of some critics' problems with Barney's "conspicuous consumption" (I think Amy Taubin said this), I really enjoyed it. Judging by a thumbnail next to the description on SFIFF's website, it looks like DR17 might be, in part, Barney's pendulous-climbing-gear performance art bit scrawling along the walls of the atrium at SFMOMA (unless he's done this at other museums).(I take it this is a new Drawing Restraint, not the Bjork one)
Thank you, by the way, to swo17, zedz, and hearthesilence, for your recommendations!

I have plenty of issues with Barney as a filmmaker, but this seems like a pretty silly and hypocritical complaint to make - unless the critic is also rigorously boycotting any and all American studio pictures and any decently budgetted foreign films.gcgiles1dollarbin wrote: I saw Drawing Restraint 9 (the Bjork one) at SFMOMA, and in spite of some critics' problems with Barney's "conspicuous consumption" (I think Amy Taubin said this), I really enjoyed it.

Yes, I agree. As if filmmakers who are avant-garde or experimental should remain ghettoized in order to retain their credibility. Perhaps Taubin believes that her connection to Frampton, Snow, etc., entitles her to say this (assuming, of course, that she was the one who said it!), but it does smack of sour grapes.zedz wrote:I have plenty of issues with Barney as a filmmaker, but this seems like a pretty silly and hypocritical complaint to make - unless the critic is also rigorously boycotting any and all American studio pictures and any decently budgetted foreign films.
Incidentally, there is also a very strong program of experimental short films at SFIFF 2011.
And DR17 was filmed in the Schaulager Museum, so it's not what I thought.

Venice 2011
From Variety:
EXCLUSIVE-- The 68th Venice Film Festival is shaping up as an especially strong edition, with a slew of hot titles secured more than three months in advance of its Aug. 31 start.
Lido competition berths are set for Roman Polanski's "Carnage," David Cronenberg's "A Dangerous Method" and Russian auteur Aleksandr Sokurov's highly anticipated "Faust," the fourth and final installment in his "Men of Power" series.
Venice regular Philippe Garrel will be back with "Un ete brulant" (A Burning Hot Summer), a remake of sorts of Jean-Luc Godard's "Contempt," starring Monica Bellucci.
An ample U.S. contingent, comprising upcoming releases from the majors and high-profile indies, will include Todd Solondz's "Dark Horse," starring Mia Farrow, Farrow, Christopher Walken and Selma Blair, in competition.
Hollywood studios are carefully plotting their Lido launches since the large number of titles in the Venice mix poses potential conflicts.
There are two Steven Soderbergh movies under consideration, for example: "Contagion," which flies under the Warner Bros. banner, and action thriller "Haywire," which is a Lionsgate pic.
And two Steven Spielberg titles, "War Horse," from Disney and DreamWorks, and 3D family pic "The Adventures of Tin-Tin: The Secret of the Unicorn," going out via Paramount and Sony, are possibilities but, obviously, not both.
Also in the mix are Alexander Payne's "The Descendants," toplining George Clooney, from Fox Searchlight, and Sony's Clooney-directed political thriller "Ides of March," starring Ryan Gosling, which poses another problem.
Mary Harron's "The Moth Diaries" and Madonna's "W.E." have been submitted.
New titles from European helmers launching from the Lido include Greek Yorgos Lanthimos' "Dogtooth" follow up "Alps," about a hospital nurse who provides unusual services to bereaved families. "Paradise," the latest from Austrian helmer Ulrich Seidl ("Dog Days"), is also likely to be in competition.
"Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy," the John Le Carre novel adaptation by Swedish helmer Tomas Alfredson starring Gary Oldman and Colin Firth, is also tipped for a Lido berth.
And Luc Besson's Michelle Yeoh starrer, "The Lady," will be submitted shortly.
Works rushing to get finished in time for "wet-print" Lido preems include Wong Kar Wai's "The Grandmasters" and Walter Salles' "On the Road."
A strong batch of U.K. titles has already booked slots in the Venice selection: Andrea Arnold's "Wuthering Heights"; Steve McQueen's "Shame"; Terence Davies' "The Deep Blue Sea"; and Michael Winterbottom's Freida Pinto starrer "Trishna," an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" with a Bollywood tone.
From Asia, Filipino auteur Brillante Mendoza's "Prey," starring Isabelle Huppert, has secured a slot.
One of two Johnnie To pics, "Life Without Principle" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," will also almost certainly unspool.
From Spain, Alex de la Iglesia's "La chispa de la vida" is likely to be Lido-bound if ready in time.
From Italy, the only certainty is Cristina Comencini's "Quando la notte" (When the Night) a drama about a fragile young mother and a tough mountain guide who meet after an accident in the Italian mountains.
Works by Italo auteurs Emanuele Crialese, Gianni Amelio and Ermanno Olmi have been submitted but are not yet slotted.
A trio of documentaries is booked: Cameron Crowe's "PJ20," about the rock band Pearl Jam; Jonathan Demme's untitled Hurricane Katrina pic; and Fatih Akin's globalization docu "Garbage in the Garden of Eden."
The 68th Venice fest runs Aug. 31 to Sept 10.

Screendaily also confirms The Moth Diaries (Mary Harron) for Venice:
Mary Harron’s The Moth Diaries, which is currently in post-production, has been invited to the Venice Film Festival in September after festival director Marco Mueller saw a recent cut in New York. Sold internationally by Wild Bunch and domestically by Cinetic Media, the film stars Lily Cole and Sarah Bolger as girls caught in a web of jealousy and betrayal at an elite boarding school.

Saturday, the first day of the festival and then Monday, and then not all all the last 6 days of the SIFF. I'm interested in Turkey and would have gone to see it.
Hope the SIFF sold a lot of tickets in advance because it occurred during a rather rainy week, including three days of fairly steady rain all of Thurs--Fri--Sat, which limited my participation.
The Shanghai 1st & 2nd prizes you have listed under San Sebastian by accident.
But keep up all the good work. Thanks.
The SIFF prizes and brief comments -- apparently from the jury -- on the selections
Most of it seems to have been translated from Chinese (or maybe poorly transcribed).

Re: Film Festival Awards 2011
What films did you get to see? Mr. Tree got great reviews and looks really interesting, but I wonder if it winning the Grand Prix instead of the Golden Goblet had something to do with outside pressure, given that it seems to be a satire of Chinese society and government.

Re: Film Festival Awards 2011
A Turkish member of another forum I visit seems surprised that Hayde bre won. He hadn't seen it but said that in Turkey the critical response was overwhelmingly negative. If the film is a dud this wouldn't be unusual for SIFF.

Re: Venice 2011
What a fantastic lineup, even if the competition slate seems a little English-language heavy. A half-dozen of my most anticipated films for the rest of the year are playing in competition.

Re: Venice 2011
Various blogs are reporting Soderbergh's Contagion is playing Venice as well. (Could just be a gala and not in competition?)
