San Francisco International Film Festival #59

It's that fabulous time of year! The San Francisco International Film Festival.This year it is in The Mission district. The hipster part of town but it is crime ridden. I'm bummed because I love Japantown where the film festival was for 30 years. It's close to where i live and the Kabulki is a glass 3 story wonder.
I'm volunteering and seeing movies with friends and alone
My first shift today on Sat. April 23, 2016 was volunteering at the Castro. While ticket taking a grand 80ish dame told me, "I was a star!" One of the volunteers knew the films of George Kuchar that she had been in.

Her name is Linda Martinez. I took this selfie with her. I also took her number and hope to interview in my film class this summer. Now that I'm home I'm watching a documentary on George Kuchar's films, "It came from George Kuchar". He made fabulous kitschy underground films. The documentary includes interviews with Jon Waters who was influenced by his films.
