tribeca film fest 2k6

Wha? How did I miss these in the guide? Maybe if you didn't have to look through 300 arbitrarily grouped titles...

you can show up half an hour beforehand to get tickets

In my experience, rofl. Maybe an hour, unless it's something marginal where a third of the ticketholders won't show up.

The very same Bill Morrison has a supporting role in Andrew Bujalski's Mutual Appreciation (saw it the other night, comes out in September).

Eh, the Svankmajer is being distrib'd by Zeitgeist, I can wait.

yeah, it's playing at film forum eventually but i can get the student discount right now and spend those two shiny dollars on penny whistles and moon pies

i really want to see that ken jacobs chaplin-manipulation film, too

i'm viewing tribeca as penance for hardly going to see any movies this year, like i'd planned to do more of. (i don't even remember what the last movie i saw is - transamerica way back in february, maybe?)

I'm intrigued by the '57 Rogosin On the Bowery doc, I saw his South Africa film last year.

Just got mine; Rossellinis Sat nite for me, Jacobs on Sunday.

A film tribute to Roberto Rossellini, the Italian neorealist director, has divided his twin daughters, Isabella and Ingrid. Isabella Rossellini wrote and narrates the short documentary, which was directed by Guy Maddin and will be shown tomorrow at the Tribeca Film Festival in honor of the centennial of the director's birth. (He died in 1977.) In "My Dad Is 100 Years Old," Mr. Rossellini is depicted as a large belly, which Isabella Rossellini said represented one of her prominent memories of him. Ingrid Rossellini said she was outraged by the conceit, and by the showing of a widely known scene from the director's "Rome: Open City," in which a German soldier shoots a character, played by Anna Magnani, in the stomach. The movie insults her father's memory, she said. "Father was so much against this kind of trivialized images or sensationalism," she added, echoing comments made last week to The New York Sun. She said that she objected less to the film than to its use as a memorial to Mr. Rossellini. Isabella Rossellini did not respond to requests for comment.
