…was fucking amazing. I haven’t been too stoked on the SF International Film Fest so far, but this powerful documentary made it all worth it. Read my review at SF Metblogs (with pictures of protesters), and hopefully soon I’ll have the video uploaded of the q and a with director Eric Steel; if anyone knows how to extract audio from a .mov file, let me know…
Pre-bedtime update: oh yeah, I guess there was a big party tonight for the SFIFF bloggers or something. I didn’t rsvp in time, so I stayed home alone blogging about the best film in the fest… oh thankless, no-free-drink irony. That’s okay; my bonus is that I ran into Stephen Elliott in the Kabuki press area this afternoon before I saw the film, where he told me he just got back from being the ‘evil liberal media’ on the campaign trail with Katherine Harris. I’ll get all the scary details tomorrow when we get a drink :)
Update: It has been brought to my attention that my post at Metblogs is being read by Danish suicide researchers, so I uploaded audio from the first ten minutes of questions in the Q & A with director Eric Steel, directly after the film screened in San Francisco for the first time. He answers some *very* difficult questions, and I cut it off when someone asks a technical question about the cameras. I never got the .MOV to convert to MP3 because the file was “muxed”; I had to jack it the old-fashioned way, if you will: I opened Audio Hijack, hit ‘play’ on the video, and hit ‘record’ in Hijack. It was a last resort, and it worked. Thanks and a squeeze to Tim for the suggestion!
