March out

[fflo]

Decided to skip going through a rundown here of my favorites at this year's film festival. I'm not feeling the urge to (subject ya'll to or) note for myself which of the 50+ films are sticking with me in this denouement, and how. I'm still tired from taking them in, and from what seems weeks of insufficient sleep and insufficient though excessive self-medication. (I started to typo "self-meditation" there---which would maybe be worse to have weeks of, no?) I'm ready for April and new things. Let me just give a small shout-out to the one film I think I'm gladdest to've seen, which wasn't in competition: Emily Hubley's The Toe Tactic.

And I'll add that I enjoyed much of what went into the exhaustion, even if our film fest didn't have the kind of unbelievably fun-sounding action of this year's London Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.

April. Come, April. Any minute now.

oh, that's funny. i just saw that it'd played moma when i was googling for a good link, and wished i coulda told you to have gone!

this year the animation star in town was don hertzfeldt. was that woman by any chance a biljana somebody? there was a biljana -ovic in the credits of either this movie or the one of hertzfeldt's i caught. i forget what the credit was for. but i wondered whether it might be your bill plympton woman.

also, didja like the movie? i loved it.

yes! she's biljana labovic (we're friends on facebook :). she works on bill plympton and now produces movies for him as well. it was very cool to meet her.

i've adopted the chin gesture, mattera fact.  -->  :)x  <--    did it first myself in the lobby later that night.

i liked the kid and the old woman and the surreal dogs and the cafe performances and the face of the elevator operator. and stuff.
