Nov 2008 - SF Int'l Latino Film Fest / Starz Denver Film Fest

Yes, our Bay Area premiere has finally arrived! We were accepted to the San Francisco International Latino Film Festival. We will screen on Tuesday, November 18 at the City College Library. I was a bit disappointed to have the Bay Area premiere be in a library--I want to celebrate!--so I'm putting on a second screening, in conjunction with the festival, which I'll consider the official Bay Area THEATRICAL premiere of American / Sandinista. So please come to:

The Roxie Theater (16th and Valencia)
Wed, November 19 - 6pm
Only $5!!

Afterward we will have a reception at a nearby bar or restaurant. More details to come...

Also, we have a screening in the prestigious Starz Denver Film Festival on November 22 and 23rd. I may attend, but probably not. If you or someone you know will be in Denver, please let me know and I'll get you tickets.

October 2006 - Hot Springs Documentary Film Fest

Excited to screen at an all-doc fest, I decided to break the piggy bank and fly out to the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival in Arkansas. Yes, it was a lot of documentaries. If I never see another documentary again, I should be okay. The fest was great, and the nicest bunch of volunteers I've ever seen. Even in red-state Arkansas, people were supportive of American/Sandinista, and wanted to know when they could get a copy of the film. Soon! I promise....

I think my favorite film of the weekend was Crawford, about George Bush's hometown. Also good was Sittin and Pickin, and Operation Homecoming. I'm interested to see where documentary film goes now that Bush is out, Republicans are fading from power, and these wars are (hopefully) soon coming to and end. What will we make docs about?....
