Your chances of finding a great film at the multiplex are probably much slimmer than your chances of finding one at the San Francisco International Film Festival.
Darren Hughes was there, and here are his summations of a few films he saw there. I’ll be adding several of these to my must-see, or must-rent, list.
Just from reading you the past few months, I can tell that once you see the Honigmann documentary “Forever” that Darren Hughes talks about, you’ll go nuts with artistic happiness. It happened to me when I saw it in Nashville. I’m tempted to say that seeing that film was the most moving artistic experience I’ve ever had.
Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll be seeing it on DVD. Honigmann’s last documentary, “The Underground Orchestra”, is only available for (very expensive) rental or purchase from the distributor on VHS or 35mm print.
Quite sad, because I want to share this film with everyone I know.
