Sebastiani Theater,
As you know, I love film festivals and this month there are two local ones. First we have the 22nd annual Sonoma International Film Festival from March 27th through March 31st. Fans of Edward Burns will want to buy tickets for his new film, “Summertime”. Yes, he will be there! The opening night film is “Ladies in Black” starring Oscar winner Julia Ormond and directed by Bruce Beresford. A movie not to be missed is “Uncrushable” directed by local Tyler Florence. It’s about the 2017 fires. Closing night film is “Sir”. I spoke to the programming director, Steve Shor, and he says this is a must-see film.
The other amazing film festival is the 12th annual Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival. If you love documentaries this one’s for you. If you love cats you have to see “The Cat Rescuers”, directed by Rob Fructman and Steven Lawrence playing at the Robert Brent Auditorium. One film I’m excited about is “Alpha Mare”. Near Nicasio Reservoir, Karin suffers a psychotic episode. Through horsemanship, she learns a set of skills that help her manage her condition. Directed by Victor Tadashi Suarez and Mimi Wilcox. Also playing at the Robert Brent Auditorium. Another film I’m seeing is “America”. Diego, a young circus artist, returns home to reunite with his brothers after their 93-year-old grandmother falls from her bed. Playing at the Rialto Cinemas directed by Erick Stoll and Chase Whiteside.
